Ensuring Safety: Understanding California SB721

Welcome to RE-NE, Construction, where safety and quality are our top priorities. Learn about California Senate Bill 721 (SB721) and how it impacts building safety regulations for decks and balconies.

What is SB721?

California Senate Bill 721 (SB721) was enacted to enhance safety measures related to the construction and maintenance of decks, balconies, and elevated walkways in residential buildings. This legislation aims to prevent tragic accidents by requiring regular inspections and maintenance of these structures.

Key Requirements of SB721

Inspection Mandates

SB721 requires that all multi-family residential buildings with three or more units must undergo a thorough inspection of all exterior elevated elements, such as balconies, stairways, and decks. These inspections must be conducted by a licensed structural engineer or architect.

Reporting and Repair

Following the inspection, a report detailing the condition of these elements must be submitted to the local building department. If any unsafe conditions are identified, immediate repairs or maintenance must be performed to ensure the safety of residents.

Ongoing Maintenance

Regular maintenance and follow-up inspections are necessary to address any structural issues and ensure the continued safety of these elements.
