South Coast Deck Inspections provides professional inspection services to help property owners comply with California's SB 326 and SB 721 laws, which mandate regular inspections of exterior elevated elements such as balconies, decks, and stairways. Established with the mission to ensure safety within multifamily residences, the company operates throughout Southern California, including counties such as Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego.
With key deadlines approaching, including the critical inspection completion date of January 1, 2025, South Coast Deck Inspections offers streamlined, comprehensive inspection reports designed to help Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and property managers meet their legal obligations. Their services are targeted towards multifamily load-bearing wooden structures and provide peace of mind to property owners and residents alike.
The company became highly relevant following legislative changes prompted by tragic events, including a notable balcony collapse in Berkeley, which highlighted the urgent need for meticulous inspection protocols. Legislative Bill SB 326 applies to HOAs, focusing on the integrity of wooden balconies and stairways, while SB 721 pertains to apartment buildings with three or more units, necessitating regular assessments every six years thereafter.
In addition to compliance inspections, South Coast Deck Inspections emphasizes the importance of robust waterproofing and structural integrity, as these elements are particularly vulnerable to environmental factors. They offer comprehensive guidelines and support for property owners navigating these new regulations.
With certifications from recognized bodies, advanced expertise, and an understanding of the unique challenges faced by property owners, South Coast Deck Inspections is committed to upholding safety standards and helping ensure that elevated exterior structures are maintained safely and effectively.
