What do you know about inspection? Has anyone here dealt with SB-326 inspections for their condo? ?

I’ve been following the updates closely. Alongside SB-326, California AB 2579 also plays a big role for condos and HOAs because it focuses on balcony, deck, stairway, and walkway safety. Both laws are designed to make sure buildings stay structurally sound and residents are protected. If your inspection finds issues, the good news is they can usually be addressed with the right repairs. For example, if your deck shows signs of water damage, deck waterproofing is one of the most effective ways to prevent long-term structural problems. Railings can also be repaired or upgraded to meet code, and complete deck rebuilding is an option when damage is more severe. The same goes for balconies—repairs can range from surface fixes to full balcony compliance repairs depending on the inspector’s findings. The key is to act early so you have time to plan out repairs instead of rushing at the last minute. Working with contractors experienced in both SB-326 and California AB 2579 compliance makes the process a lot smoother.

I’ve dealt with both SB 326 inspections for condos and SB 721 inspections for apartments. These laws make regular inspections of decks, balconies, and staircases mandatory to ensure safety and compliance. Getting them done by licensed professionals like South Coast Deck Inspections is key to avoiding risks and penalties.

My HOA scheduled an inspection by https://nahspro.com/sb-326-inspections/ last month. The inspector checked everything carefully, especially the wooden load-bearing parts. They pointed out some hidden damage we wouldn’t have noticed. The report included how long they expect things to last before needing repairs. Worth doing!
