Los Angeles Balcony Inspections and Repairs
California Law requires your multi-family residential apartment building to be inspected if you answer “yes” to these questions:
Does your building have 3 or more units?
Does your building have “Exterior Elevated Elements” (EEE’s)? (for example, exterior balconies, decks, porches, stairways, walkways, entry structures, or other exterior elements with walking surfaces)
Do your elevated structural elements rely substantially on wood or wood-based products for structural support?
Are your Exterior Elevated Elements walking surfaces more than 6 feet above ground level?
🚨 The SB 721 Deadline Has Passed
The January 1, 2026 compliance deadline for SB 721 inspections has come and gone. If your multifamily building has not yet completed its required inspection, you may already be subject to fines of $100–$500 DAILY. It’s not too late to get compliant and prevent additional penalties from adding up. Property owners still have time to schedule inspections and complete any required repairs. The team at Weinstein Construction can help move your property through the compliance and repair process quickly and safely.

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).

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Winston constructions were amazing to work with and were able to retrofit our home for earthquakesPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My house is built above a crawl space so I wanted more protection from earthquakes by adding seismic retrofitting in 2013. Weinstein Construction exceeded my expectations with regard to my seismic retrofitting project. This year I learned about an insurance discount for retrofitting. I contacted Weinstein Construction and although they no longer had a record in their files they contacted the city for that information. They went the extra mile when it came to customer service.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein Construction did an excellent job and were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The team was easy to work with, always punctual, and very responsive whenever we needed anything—the office staff was just as attentive and supportive. They explained everything clearly, so there wasn’t any surprises. Overall, we were extremely pleased with both their workmanship and their outstanding customer service. We would definitely recommend them!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience working with Weinstein Construction on my California EBB (Earthquake Brace + Bolt) grant and seismic bracing project. From the beginning, they were extremely knowledgeable about the program and walked me through the entire process step by step. They helped make the paperwork and requirements much easier to understand, and they stayed organized and communicative the whole time. Once the project started, their team handled everything professionally and efficiently. The work was completed on schedule and they made sure everything met the program requirements so there were no issues with the grant. It was really helpful having a contractor who understood the EBB program so well and could manage the project from start to finish. I’m very happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend Weinstein Construction to anyone looking to complete an earthquake bracing project.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a waterproofing company we couldn’t get to a job during Holidays,so we reached out to fellow waterproofers & Weinstein was only ones available on short notice & came from a distance ,was available to take over a basement flooding project.They gave straightforward price and did work promptly…Bravo glad their not our direct competitor …Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weinstein Construction Corp did an excellent job replacing two exterior stairs, parts of the second-floor walkway/decking, and all the railings at my apartment building. I received 4 proposals, and I chose Weinstein Corp because the communication and attention to details for the proposal were very good. Mr. Weinstein met with me a couple of times to look at the project, he always responded right away to any of my phone calls. He was very detailed and paid great attention on what needed to be done, and he explained things very well. As the project started it was discovered that the walkway had extensive water damage which needed repair. This is where I am most happy, I hired Weinstein Corp. They knew exactly what needed to be done to fix the decking properly. The walkway required new joists, and extra support beam as well as two supporting steel posts in order to provide for better support. The engineer was brought in right away and provided the proper design drawings and extra permitting for the extra work. I am a hands-on person, and I like to know what is going on at all times and it was a pleasure dealing with Mr. Weinstein, his Forman Carlos, and all of his crew. I will definitely use them on future projects. I am very happy with the way everything came out. The new stairs, walkway/decking, and railings all look great and secure.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
