HOA Balcony Inspection and the Owner-or-Association Repair Split — Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek, CA
A 24-unit Walnut Creek association knew it needed an inspection. What the board could not answer was which repairs it would have to fund and which belonged to individual owners. The report labelled every finding by element type, and two of the three failures turned out to be owner-installed.
- Engineer-led HOA balcony inspection of 15 elements
- CC&R review before scoping, to frame the repair allocation
- Confirmation that 12 at-grade patios fall outside the statute
- Invasive sample openings selected by the engineer
