SB326 Inspections & Consulting

SB326 Compliance for HOA Communities Across California

Whitestone Industries offers professional SB326 inspections and consulting services to help HOA communities stay compliant with California’s Balcony Inspection Law (Civil Code §5551). Our team partners with certified engineers and inspectors to assess the structural integrity of elevated exterior elements, including balconies, walkways, and decks—and provides actionable reporting and repair plans.

What Is SB326?

SB326 (effective January 1, 2020) mandates that HOAs inspect elevated exterior elements (EEEs) like balconies, decks, stairs, and walkways in buildings with three or more units. Inspections must be performed by a licensed structural engineer or architect and repeated every nine years.

The law aims to:

Identify structural risks and prevent failure
Protect residents and reduce liability
Create a timeline for safe repairs and maintenance
Ensure HOA boards document inspection compliance

Our SB326 Services Include:

Initial Property Assessment & Scope Setup
Coordination with Licensed Inspectors & Engineers
Project Management of Inspection Process
Drone & Visual Access Evaluations
Photographic Documentation & Reporting
Repair Estimates & Construction Planning
