California’s SB 721 + SB 326 require routine balcony and elevated walkway inspections — and insurers are now tying coverage to compliance.
Failing to inspect can mean fines or loss of coverage. Staying ahead protects tenants and long-term asset value.

I sincerely hope that Governor Newsom will sign SB326. If CalFire needs changes, he should initiate a process this fall with the bill's authors to make tweaks that can help the agency do the hard things we need it to do. California can lead on wildfire prevention. This bill enables that.

SB326 is important for two reasons. First, it is the most impactful step the state can take THIS YEAR to reduce risk of catastrophes like the LA wildfires. It does this by requiring implementation of a key step to reduce home ignition in high risk areas at rental homes and on sale of existing homes.

I wrote on OpEd on SB326, what I believe is the most important piece of wildfire legislation on Governor Newsom's desk.
Sometimes we have to do hard things. This is one of those times. The brave men and women of CalFire can handle this.

California can reduce wildfire risk by boosting Zone 0 compliance | Opinion
“Zone 0 is the five-foot buffer around a home where all combustible materials — such as plants, wood fences or mulch — must be removed.”

These would be, other than perhaps the finalization of the zone zero rule by the Board of Forestry, the most meaningful steps taken by the State of California in response to the tragedy of the LA wildfires on January 7th. Governor Newsom, please sign SB326.

Tonight I’m going to tell you about a California bill called SB326, authored by Senator Josh Becker and cosponsored by Senators Laird and Stern. This bill is perhaps the most significant wildfire legislation to land on Governor Newsom’s desk this year. I hope he signs it.

SB326 just made it out of Assembly Appropriations!!
My plan:
Wear a smart suit to my meetings.
Keep my face and jaw relaxed all day.
Stand tall.
And as one of my leg besties always says “never fall in love with a bill!”

If you care about legislation in California, today is a day of holding your breath.
Everything that can be done has been done. Now you just have to see what makes it off of suspense.

Happy Friday! I want to get the word out about a newer California state law, SB326, and other laws that require inspections for some condo buildings. There are implications if HOAs don't get them including not being able to refinance or sell your condo.

The new law is exposing all of the deferred work that has been pushed back for years. But now they have to be corrected.
