California SB 326 & SB 721 Exterior Elevated Element (EEE) Inspections

At Flash Home & Balcony Inspections, we specialize in California’s mandatory Exterior Elevated Element (EEE) inspection requirements under SB 326 and SB 721. These laws were enacted to improve life safety and help prevent catastrophic failures involving balconies, decks, stairways, walkways, and elevated exterior structures.

What Are SB 326 & SB 721?

California Senate Bill 326

SB 326 applies primarily to HOA-managed condominium and common-interest developments. The law requires regular inspections of elevated exterior structures that rely substantially on wood or wood-based products for structural support.

California Senate Bill 721

SB 721 applies to apartment buildings and multi-family rental properties with three or more dwelling units. Property owners are required to complete inspections of qualifying exterior elevated elements and maintain documentation of compliance.

These laws are designed to identify:

• Hidden dry rot and moisture intrusion

• Structural deterioration

• Unsafe railings and guard systems

• Corroded fasteners and hardware

• Waterproofing failures

• Conditions that may create life-safety hazards
