PE-stamped SB-326 and SB-721 compliance inspections from a licensed California structural engineering firm. Palo Alto’s mid-rise HOA-managed condominium stock requires statistically significant sampling under Civil Code §5551.
Whether your Palo Alto property falls under SB-326 (HOA / condominium) or SB-721 (apartments, 3+ units), the deliverable is the same: a PE-stamped report photo-documented, sampling-validated, and retention-ready for insurance carriers, lenders, and litigation.
Nine-year cycle. Statistically significant sampling. Inspector must be a structural engineer, architect, or licensed civil engineer — contractors are not eligible. H2 Seismic Pro qualifies.
Six-year cycle. 15% sampling per elevated element type. Two-cycle (12-year) record retention. We deliver an indexed photo archive for long-term storage.
