SB 721 · Orange County
SB 721 balcony inspections from an Orange County firm.
We're based in Mission Viejo, and Orange County's walk-up apartment stock is exactly what SB 721 was written for. The deadline passed January 1, 2026 — we inspect, document, and deliver the stamped report.
Orange County is our home county
The firm is based in Mission Viejo, which means Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, and the rest of the county are local scheduling — not a travel day. That matters when a lender or an escrow date is waiting on the report.
Who's in scope
Apartment buildings with three or more units and wood-framed balconies, decks, exterior stairs, or elevated walkways. The SB 721 first-inspection deadline of January 1, 2026 has passed; re-inspection then repeats every six years.
OC's building stock
A large share of the county's rental stock is 1960s–1980s garden-style walk-up construction: wood-framed, stucco-clad, with cantilevered balconies and open breezeway walkways — precisely the element types SB 721 was written for. Coastal cities add marine-air corrosion of connections and flashing to the picture.
What we deliver
Statutory-rate sampling of every element type, led by a licensed engineer under our Class A + B CSLB license, aerial photogrammetry documentation of the envelope, and a stamped report accepted by Orange County jurisdictions.
Inspections are led by a licensed engineer under the firm's Class A + B CSLB license #1044379, with a stamped report as the deliverable. Full statute details, FAQ, and re-inspection cycles are on the SB 721 / SB 326 balcony inspection hub, and you can estimate your penalty exposure before you book.
