Apartment Building Owners — You’ll Want to Read This ⚠️

🏠 If you own an apartment building in California, this one’s important

Senate Bill 721 (SB 721) requires inspections of certain Exterior Elevated Elements (EEEs) — such as balconies, landings, and walkways that are six feet or more above ground level — for buildings with three or more units.

The deadline to complete these inspections is January 1, 2026. With thousands of properties needing evaluations, inspection schedules will fill up fast — so it’s best to get ahead of the rush now.

If you’re not sure whether your property qualifies, send us photos, and our lead inspector can review them and give you a professional opinion.

🧰 Here’s What You Need to Know

• Deadline: All inspections must be completed by January 1, 2026
• Safety first: Any unsafe areas must be immediately closed off to tenants
• Mandatory compliance: All recommended repairs must be completed
• Fines: Non-compliance may result in $100–$500 per day in penalties

Permits:

• 120 days to obtain a permit (if required)
• 120 days to complete repairs after permit approval
• If no permit is needed: Keep all documentation (receipts, reports, invoices) to show proof of compliance

📞 As the deadline nears, inspector availability will become limited

Don’t wait until the last minute—book your SB 721 inspection today to protect your tenants, stay compliant, and avoid costly fines.
