SB 721 Re-Inspection After a Cosmetic Repair Failed — 24-Unit Apartment in Carmichael

Carmichael, CA

A Carmichael owner had paid for deck repairs eighteen months earlier. A fresh coating had gone straight over decayed plywood and rotted ledger blocking. We re-inspected all twelve decks, rebuilt nine, and produced the written report the first contractor never delivered.

  • SB 721 inspection of all 12 decks (no sampling)
  • Removal of the failed coating & decking
  • Plywood substrate & ledger blocking replacement (9 decks)
  • Hot-dip galvanized fasteners & new ledger flashing

Guardrail and Landing Repairs Across an 88-Unit Stockton Apartment Complex (SB 721)

Stockton, CA

Load testing during an SB 721 inspection put nineteen guardrails on the immediate-threat list. We fenced the affected balconies within 24 hours, replaced the rotted rim joists holding the posts, and rebuilt every guard to code across eleven buildings — without a single unit losing access.

  • SB 721 inspection of 44 balconies & 22 stair landings
  • Manual load checks on every guard
  • Immediate-threat notice & temporary guarding within 24 hours
  • Rim joist and post blocking replacement

What a Passing SB 721 Inspection Looks Like — 60-Unit Complex in Vacaville

Vacaville, CA

Not every inspection ends in construction. A Vacaville owner booked ahead of his deadline, we assessed all 28 elevated elements, and the report closed with a maintenance schedule and a re-inspection date — no permits, no repairs, no closures.

  • SB 721 inspection of all 28 elevated elements (100%, not sampled)
  • Moisture readings at every ledger and door threshold
  • Four exploratory openings on the highest-exposure elevations
  • Written report with condition ratings & photographs

Section 604 Compliance and Fire Escape Rehabilitation for a SoMa Apartment Building

San Francisco, CA (SoMa)

A 1920s SoMa apartment building had already passed an SB 721 inspection — but had never filed a Section 604 affidavit. We inspected 100% of its wood and metal elements, rebuilt two corroded fire escape landings, and filed the affidavit with SFDBI.

  • 100% Section 604 inspection of wood and metal elements
  • Fire escape load assessment & fastener testing
  • Structural steel landing replacement (2 assemblies)
  • Corrosion remediation & zinc-rich coating system

Tracing a Ceiling Leak to a Failed Balcony Threshold — SB 721 Repair in Tracy

Tracy, CA

A ground-floor tenant in Tracy reported ceiling stains that three previous service calls had failed to explain. The water was coming from the balcony above, through a door threshold that had never been pan-flashed. We rebuilt four thresholds in seven working days.

  • SB 721 inspection of all 36 balconies
  • Leak tracing with moisture mapping & hose testing
  • Door removal & threshold framing replacement (4 balconies)
  • Sheet-metal pan flashing with end dams & rear upturn

SB 326 Inspection and Balcony Membrane Replacement for a Lake Merritt Condominium

Oakland, CA (Lake Merritt)

A 62-unit Oakland mid-rise needed its first Civil Code §5551 inspection before a refinance. Our engineer-led survey found two balconies with active moisture in the framing — repaired, documented, and closed out without a special assessment.

  • Engineer-led SB 326 inspection & sampling plan
  • Visual assessment of all 62 balconies
  • Nine exploratory openings with multi-day moisture logging
  • 15-day immediate-threat notice & access restriction
