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

  • Engineer-led SB 326 inspection of 96 balconies
  • Individual load checks on every guard
  • 15-day immediate-threat notice & closure on 4 balconies

  • 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

SB 326 Inspection and Cantilever Repair for a Hillside Condominium in El Dorado Hills

  • Engineer-led SB 326 inspection of 40 balconies
  • Eight exploratory soffit and deck openings
