SB 721 Balcony Inspections in Woodland Hills
Woodland Hills and Warner Center have large apartment communities whose exterior stair towers and cantilevered balconies fall under SB 721's Exterior Elevated Element definition.
What SB 721 requires in Woodland Hills
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 Woodland Hills, reports are retained by the owner and provided to Los Angeles Department of Building & Safety (LADBS) 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 Woodland Hills 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
