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).
