SB-326 & SB-721 Balcony Inspections

ESR provides SB-326 and SB-721 Balcony (EEE) inspections for Los Angeles HOAs and apartment owners, with the inspection signed by a licensed structural engineer on the ESR team.

California requires condo associations (SB-326) and owners of buildings with three or more rental units (SB-721) to inspect Balconies, Decks, Stairs and Walkways that are more than 6 feet above ground. The first deadline passed on January 1, 2026, so many properties are now behind.

Inspections are performed under a licensed structural engineer who works with ESR. You receive a photo report, a compliance letter and a clear repair list. Under SB-721 the inspector may not also perform the Repairs, so we tell you up front how Repairs will be handled for your building.

* Prices shown are starting estimates only and are not guaranteed. Every job is different, so your final price is set in a written estimate after a site visit, once ESR has seen the job and confirmed the full scope. Permit and plan-check fees are passed through at cost. Hidden conditions (dry rot, old wiring or Plumbing, hazardous materials) are priced separately. As California law requires, a down payment is never more than $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less.
