Deadline Alert
California’s SB 326 compliance deadline is fast approaching, with mandatory initial inspections required by January 1, 2025. Avoid penalties and ensure your property meets California’s new standards for exterior elevated element (EEE) safety by booking your inspection today with North American Home Services.
Why SB 326 Compliance Matters for Your HOA
Senate Bill 326 (SB 326), also known as the “California Balcony Bill,” is designed to prevent tragic accidents caused by unsafe or deteriorating balconies, decks, stairways, and other elevated structures in multi-family residential buildings. Compliance is mandatory and specifically targets HOAs and property managers to take preventive steps in protecting their communities.
Scope of Inspections Under SB 326:
- Applies to buildings with three or more units.
- Covers all exterior elevated elements (balconies, decks, stairways, etc.) made with wood or wood-based products.
- Requires periodic inspections every nine years following the initial inspection.
