SB 721 Balcony Inspections in Glendale
Glendale's older multifamily inventory in Adams Hill and along Central Avenue is prime SB 721 territory. We coordinate directly with Glendale Building & Safety on permitted repairs.
What SB 721 requires in Glendale
California SB 721 requires owners of apartment buildings with three or more units to inspect every Exterior Elevated Element (EEE) — balconies, decks, stairs, walkways, and landings elevated more than 6 ft with wood-framed structural support — before January 1, 2026, and every six years after. In Glendale, reports are retained by the owner and provided to Glendale Building & Safety Division on request. Repairs classified as immediately hazardous must be permitted and completed within the timeframes the report specifies.
- Inspection of at least 15% of each type of EEE in your Glendale property
- Written report with photos, findings, and severity classifications
- Signed report accepted by local building departments
- Prioritized repair recommendations with cost ranges
- Optional: RetroCal handles permitted repairs in-house
