CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />Planning and Building Agency <br />40�3Eadv/isor <br />11 � Introduction <br />November 15, 2024 <br />Project Address: 1721 N Spurgeon St, Santa Ana, CA 92706, USA <br />Dear Owner, <br />Approved <br />FOR PERMIT ISSUANC <br />�11,, - I- ,. IF). <br />We appreciate your request for our assistance in evaluating the Exterior Elevated Elements <br />(EEE's) at the designated property. This report outlines the findings derived from the inspection <br />carried out, focusing on the load -bearing components and related finishes. <br />It is important to note that the observations provided in this preliminary report are subject to <br />modifications as additional information is obtained. This inspection aims to assist the client in <br />completing the SB721 compliance process for the relevant property. <br />In response to a tragic incident in Berkeley where a wood -framed balcony collapsed, resulting in a <br />fatality, the state introduced Senate Bill 721 (SB721). This legislation mandates a minimum of <br />15% sampling of each exterior elevated element for buildings comprising 3 or more multifamily <br />dwelling units to undergo inspection before January 1, 2025. Additionally, it requires subsequent <br />inspections to be conducted every 6 years. <br />Load -bearing components, which include decks, balconies, stairways, walkways, and their <br />railings, are the focus of these mandatory inspections. These components protrude beyond the <br />building's exterior walls and have a walking surface higher than six feet above the ground level. <br />They are designed for human occupancy or use and are constructed using wood or wood -based <br />materials. <br />+1 (805) 312-8508 <br />INFO@EEEADVISOR.COM <br />PAGE 5 <br />
