Source: KTLA5 Silver Lake Balcony Collapse
On February 15th, 2025, four tenants and a dog were standing on a balcony in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, when disaster struck. Without warning, the structure gave way beneath them. Miraculously, their fall was cushioned by the balcony below, preventing what could have been a far worse tragedy. However, this terrifying incident has sparked immediate enforcement actions across California, particularly regarding SB721 and SB326, laws requiring balcony inspections for multifamily residences and condominiums. The harsh reality? Landlords who have failed to comply with these inspection laws now face fines of up to $500 per day. Beyond financial penalties, the true cost of neglecting balcony safety is human lives. BALCONY COLLAPSE INJURES 4 TENANTS: $500/Day Fines Ahead for CA Landlords Who Have Not Had a Balcony Inspection
