California Balcony Inspection Law

Commercial building inspector wearing a hard hat examines an exterior apartment balcony with a clipboard during a structural balcony inspection at a modern multifamily residential property featuring elevated walkways, metal railings, and exterior staircases.

California’s balcony inspection deadline has already passed. Many owners are now in one of three situations: they’re behind on their inspection, they’re holding a report they don’t fully understand, or they completed the required 15% inspection and assumed they were finished.
