Are you up to speed on California Law that now requires YOU to have YOUR balconies and other elevated exterior elements (“EEEs” or “EEEs”) at your building inspected by 2025? Make sure YOU comply with the law!
On June 16, 2015, six people died and seven others were injured in a tragic residential balcony collapse in Berkeley, California. Structural analysis revealed that the wood framing of the balcony was severely weakened by dry rot from rainwater penetration due to improper sealing of the balcony to the main building. In response, California enacted Senate Bill 721 (“The Balcony Bill” or “SB 721”) on September 17, 2018. SB 721 (Chapter 445, Stats. 2018) requires the inspection of balconies and other “exterior elevated elements” at all multifamily residential buildings with three or more units.
Join us for this important presentation where we will provide YOU with everything YOU need to know about Senate Bill 721. During the webinar, we will review the various aspects of SB 721, and explain exactly what is meant by an “elevated exterior element.” We will discuss the reasons why SB 721 was created and discuss the bill’s specific inspection and reporting requirements. SB 721 makes mandatory an inspection of properties with wooden exterior elevated elements (EEE’s), which include balconies, overhead walkways, stairwells, and railings. Most importantly, learn how much these inspections cost and how you can get your inspections completed on time before the deadline!
