Both the cost and timing of a balcony inspection will depend on a multitude of factors, for example:
- The number of elevated structures inspected to achieve the high confidence level required by the law
- Whether or not the EEE is covered by a stucco finish which will need to be removed
- Whether or not the EEE has a soffit which will need to be removed
- The height of the EEE from the ground
- Whether or not access must be provided to individual apartments or condos
- Whether or not inspecting the EEE will require the use of lift equipment (e.g., to repair balcony floor).
Yes, condos are actually subjected to SB 721 when an apartment building is being converted into condos. And in the case of a condo conversion, the inspections must be performed before the first close of escrow of a condo unit. Note that apartment-condo conversions sold after January 1, 2019, must comply with these new requirements.

Weinstein Construction, professional from beginning to end. We contacted them through the Brace and Bolt EBB program for an estimate on retrofitting our house. They were on time from the first meeting and through out the job. Angela from Weinstein Construction was super helpful with all the EBB forms and paper work and kept our job moving forward. The construction team was experienced, clean and got the job done in two days. We give them 5 stars. Tracey & SantinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein Construction | Los Angeles Foundation Repair have been terrific to work with every step of the way. I was referred by a trusted neighbor who highly recommended them. All of the individuals who assisted me worked to ensure that I understood all of the steps involved to utilize the city EBB Bool and Brace Program. Angela was extremely helpful in navigating this lengthy process. Most importantly, crew members Luis and Hugo who arrived to do the work were well-prepared, respectful and meticulous in carrying out the work. It's great to work with a family run company that offers this kind of experience.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with their service!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein Construction Corporation did a superb job of earthquake bolting at our home in September, 2019. I strongly recommend that you give them the opportunity to bid your job. We were very happy with the quality of the work done, the consideration of the workers as we continued to live our lives during the work, the helpful office staff, their handling of LADBS paperwork and signoff, and their excellent post-job cleanup. Pricing was competitive. The owner himself, Mr. Weinstein, visited our home near the end of the work to assure that all was well. // Our home had some unusual aspects. First of all, it was built around 1953, then was moved in two pieces in 1972 to its present location and put onto a new concrete block foundation. Secondly, we are, like much of this area, on alluvial soils that rise and fall as rainwater gets into them. Most homes haven’t been bounced around for an hour or two on the road after being nailed together, and most haven’t been pushed up and down when it rains! I am happy to say that, more than two years after WCC did their work, our floors feel MORE solid because the quake bolting tied the structural wood of the sill plates more ruggedly to the concrete block foundation. This is a benefit we did not expect but are glad we got. // So don’t worry, have Weinstein do the job and you’re in good hands!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein construction is incredibly outstanding. Angie walks you through the process so efficiently. They stand behind there work . It was a pleasure working with them. I haven’t had such a good experience with a company in years. I highly recommend them. And they are reasonably priced.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein Construction made me feel extremely comfortable with the whole process from start to end! Their crew were professional and respectful of my property and cleaned up everyday even when they were returning the next morning. Angela is very personable and always made it feel like we knew each other for years. I will definitely use them again in the future when I do more work to my home! Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein construction just competed a complete repair and retrofit of our second floor balcony. This was a fairly complicated job to replace rotten beams. We couldn’t be happier with the level of professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of their work. The work was completed as promised in 2 days. Everyone we interacted with was very courteous and knowledgeable about their craft. Thank you Angela, Mario and crew, and of course Itzcik!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great team of folks over here. We wanted to brace and bolt the house for earthquake retrofitting, as well as replace a section of our foundation that had a long horizontal crack in it. The first estimate we got during our home inspection was for over TWICE what Weinstein came in at. The other company also wanted to do some work that felt unnecessary to me and my general contractor - I didn’t tell Weinstein about that and wanted to see what they felt was appropriate after their inspection and sure enough they didn’t mention any of it. When I brought it up they said it was unnecessary but they could do it if I wanted. Big shout out to Nathan who came over for the initial free inspection and airdropped me all the photos he took under the house and answered all of my questions. Steve was great during the job, and the whole crew was professional and great. They even gave us a parting gift, an infrared thermometer and a box of masks! I always hate getting branded mugs and stuff from companies because it just ends up in a landfill - but what a nice, thoughtful, and functional gift for the times we are in! Would highly recommend Weinstein Construction!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein Construction did a professional job from start to finish. We had them retrofit our home, and they completed the job in one day. The office was responsive whenever we called with questions, getting back to us very quickly. All the needed forms were filled out quickly. All permit and inspection details were handled by the office and Steven, the job supervisor. They even provided very clear before and after photos so that we could see the work without crawling under the house ourselves. Everything was incredibly clean when they were done. Steven's crew did excellent work, and everything was well organized. I am glad that we chose to work with this company for our Retrofit project.
