What is the Exterior Elevated Elements Program (E3)?
SB 721 and SB 326 were introduced following the tragic collapse of a fifth-floor balcony on June 16, 2015, which claimed the lives of six UC Berkeley students. Investigations revealed that the collapse was caused by dry rot due to poor construction and inadequate waterproofing — not the weight of the 13 students on the balcony. This tragedy underscored the need for stricter safety standards for exterior elevated elements (EEEs).
The Exterior Elevated Elements Program (E3) requires regular inspections of balconies, decks, walkways, and stairways over six feet high in buildings with three or more units. This mandatory California balcony inspection law, enforced under SB 721 and SB 326, ensures that these structures are:
✅ Structurally sound
✅ Properly waterproofed
✅ Free from hazardous conditions such as dry rot or construction defects
