Success Stories & Case Studies
Real projects. Real results. Real compliance achieved.
LA Multi-Unit Building - Balcony Compliance
The Challenge
A 200-unit residential building in Los Angeles faced the SB 721 deadline with aging wooden balconies showing signs of wood rot and structural deterioration. The property manager needed a comprehensive inspection to identify all defects and develop a repair strategy.
Our Solution
Our team completed a full structural inspection of all 200 units within 48 hours. We identified 12 critical safety issues including rotted wood framing, corroded metal railings, and compromised attachment points. Our detailed photographic documentation and engineering analysis provided the HOA with a clear prioritization of repairs.
The Impact
By providing detailed repair recommendations with cost estimates, the HOA was able to negotiate a 30% contractor discount, saving over $50,000 on the total repair budget. The property achieved full SB 721 compliance before the deadline.
San Francisco Building - Section 604 Inspection
The Challenge
A commercial building in San Francisco required annual Section 604 inspection with significant deferred maintenance on exterior stairs, railings, and wooden structural elements. The building had visible wood deterioration and metal corrosion that needed assessment.
Our Solution
Our inspection team conducted a thorough evaluation of all exterior elevated structures. We documented over 50 defects ranging from minor maintenance issues to structural concerns. We provided a prioritized repair schedule with photographic evidence of each defect and recommended remediation methods.
The Impact
The building achieved 100% compliance with Section 604 requirements. By following our prioritized repair schedule, the property avoided building department violations and citations. The detailed documentation helped the building secure contractor bids and plan a 90-day repair timeline.
