Missed the SB721 Deadline in Los Angeles?
The January 1, 2026 deadline has passed. If your LA apartment building is overdue on its SB721 inspection — or you've received a notice from the housing department — RetroCal's licensed SB721 specialists and general contractors handle the inspection, the stamped report, and any permitted repairs under one roof. One team. One paper trail. One point of contact until your file is closed.
Overdue SB721 inspection — the 3-step recovery path
- 1Book the inspection this week
A licensed SB721 inspection specialist performs the visual and, where needed, invasive evaluation of every EEE — balconies, stairs, walkways, decks — and issues a stamped, photo-documented report. RetroCal schedules overdue LA properties within days, not weeks.
- 2Repair immediately hazardous conditions within 15 days
SB721 requires any condition flagged as immediately hazardous to be corrected within 15 days of the report. RetroCal is a licensed General Building Contractor (#985586) and pulls permits, executes structural repairs, waterproofing, and guardrail replacement in-house — no second vendor, no scheduling gap.
- 3File everything and close your compliance file
The stamped report, permit sign-off cards, and repair documentation are filed with the local building department and delivered to you as a single compliance package your insurance carrier and any future buyer will ask for.
Got a SB721 notice from the housing department?
Notices from LADBS and other LA-area housing departments start a 30-day clock. Ignoring the notice doesn't buy time — it converts the situation into daily civil penalties and, eventually, a recorded lien against the property. If you've received a notice, forward it to us. We'll respond with a fixed-fee proposal within one business day and can typically be on-site the same week.
Priority slots reserved for owners with active notices.
Stamped report delivered directly to the housing department on your behalf.
Filing the stamped report ends penalty accrual under Civil Code § 5551.
Overdue? Send us your property list.
Portfolio owners with multiple overdue buildings receive volume pricing and a single dispatched crew. We'll return a fixed-fee proposal within one business day.
