Professional Deck & Balcony Inspections for California Businesses

Stay Compliant with SB 721 & SB 326

As a business owner or property investment group managing multi-family housing, you’re required by California law to stay compliant with SB 721 and SB 326. These laws mandate periodic inspections of exterior elevated elements—like decks, balconies, stairs, and walkways—to ensure tenant safety and structural integrity. CDI helps you navigate these legal requirements with clarity and confidence, reducing your risk of non-compliance, fines, and liability. Our expert team handles everything from scheduling to reporting, giving your team peace of mind and ensuring your properties remain safe, code-compliant, and legally protected.
