SB 321 Compliance: Repair, Replace, and Rebuild Services for Exterior Elevated Elements
Malki Construction is at the forefront of providing comprehensive compliance solutions for property owners affected by California’s Senate Bill 321 (SB 321). This critical legislation mandates regular inspection and maintenance of Exterior Elevated Elements (EEEs) such as balconies, decks, landings, and walkways on multi-unit residential properties. With decades of experience in structural repairs and code-compliant reconstruction, we are your trusted partner for protecting tenant safety and preserving property value.
What is SB 321?
SB 321, also known as the Exterior Elevated Elements Inspection Bill, expands and refines the requirements originally introduced under SB 721 and SB 326. This law applies to both market-rate and affordable housing complexes and mandates:
-
Periodic inspections of EEEs to identify unsafe conditions.
-
Mandatory reporting of deficiencies to the local building authority.
-
Repair or replacement of unsafe structural elements within a set timeframe.
Failure to comply can lead to serious legal, financial, and safety consequences. Malki Construction ensures your property meets all regulatory requirements with minimal disruption to tenants and operations.
