Kaminskiy Care and Repair prices every finding on your SB 721 or SB 326 report, files the permit through Roseville's online portal and closes the repairs out for the re-inspection, from Highland Pointe Drive. No report yet? Our sister company, Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling, performs the inspection.
BBBAccredited BusinessRoseville's apartment stock is young by California standards, but the balcony law does not grade on age: every wood-framed balcony, deck, exterior stair and walkway more than six feet up on a rental building of three or more units was due for its first SB 721 inspection (Health and Safety Code 17973) by January 1, 2026, from the 1960s walk-ups off Vernon Street to the garden communities on Harding and Eureka and the podium buildings going up in West Roseville, and the reports are now coming back with findings. Those findings are the work of Kaminskiy Care and Repair (CSLB #1106209): from any licensed inspector's report we price each one on its own line, file the permit through the City's online portal inside the 120-day window, rebuild the joist ends, ledgers and stringers, replace the chalked coatings, re-anchor the rails and close the file for the re-inspection. If a rental building has no report yet, our sister company Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling, a B general building contractor since 2008 (CSLB #922807), performs the inspection under its own contract with you and signs the report inside 45 days. A condominium association under SB 326 brings us its engineer's report and we do the repairs it lists. The repair crew starts its day at our Roseville office on Highland Pointe Drive, a few minutes from Douglas Boulevard, the Galleria and Fiddyment Road.
Rental buildings, condos, breezeway stairs, walkways.
Own a Roseville rental building with three or more units and Health and Safety Code 17973 asks three things of you: a qualified inspection of every balcony, deck, exterior stair and walkway that stands more than six feet above grade on wood framing, a written report kept in the building's file, and the repairs it lists finished inside the statute's deadlines. The third one is ours. Each finding gets its own written price, the permit goes in through the City's online portal with the report and the repair detail attached, and the crew from Highland Pointe Drive rebuilds the framing, replaces the coating across the whole deck, re-anchors the rails and documents every element for the re-inspection. For the first obligation, our sister company Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling holds the license class and the years the statute asks of an inspecting contractor.

A Roseville report usually points at the same wood: the joists that cantilever the balcony out of the wall, the ledger bolted to the building, the rim board the guardrail posts hang from, the stringers under the breezeway stairs. The lines read as elevated moisture at the ledger, deterioration at the joist ends, a stringer foot soft at the landing, a coating chalked through, an anchor without sound wood behind it. Each one is a repair we price on its own line, and the service-life column decides the order: whatever the inspector gave a year or two is rebuilt first.
A rental building with three or more units is under SB 721 (Health and Safety Code 17973): first inspection due January 1, 2026, then every six years, by one of the four inspector types the section names. A condominium project with three or more units, such as the Roseville Greens buildings on Harding or a Sunrise Avenue condo association, is under SB 326 (Civil Code 5551): first inspection due January 1, 2025, then every nine years, by a licensed structural or civil engineer or an architect. A single-family community like Sun City Roseville is outside both laws.
An element the inspector marks an immediate threat is closed to tenants at once, shored where it needs it, and reported to the City's Building Division within 15 days. Every other finding runs on two windows: the permit application within 120 days of the report, and the repairs within 120 days of the permit. If the work is still open 180 days after the report the inspector tells the City, a 30-day notice follows, and after that the daily penalty runs until the building is fixed.
Rot confined to a joist end, a post base or the bottom of a stringer is cut back to clean wood and sistered or replaced. Rot that has crossed the ledger or taken most of the joists means the balcony or landing comes off and is rebuilt from the framing out. In either case the coating goes back across the whole surface, because a patch in a chalked membrane is the next leak, and the re-inspection expects a finished deck, not a repaired corner.
Roseville grew in rings. The railroad town around Vernon Street and Old Town came first, the I-80 side filled in after 1956 with the garden apartments of Harding, Cirby and Douglas, the Galleria pulled a 2000s wave onto Roseville Parkway and Gibson Drive, and the villages west of Fiddyment Road are still being built, many of them with the podium and wrap buildings that put an owner on the certificate-of-occupancy clock. About a third of the city's households rent. Which ring your building sits in decides what the report finds and what the repair looks like.
The 1960s and 1970s walk-ups and fourplexes near the center and the condominium buildings of the Roseville Greens era, with open wood stairs, exterior landings and balconies cantilevered over the carports. Fifty summers of valley sun have cooked the original coatings and fifty wet seasons have followed the cracks into the ledger. The common finding is a stair stringer gone soft at the landing, a post base rotted where the planter meets it, and joist ends dark behind stucco that still looks fine from the parking lot. The condo associations here are under SB 326 and bring us their engineer's report; the rentals are under SB 721 and we inspect them.
Two- and three-story stucco buildings around pools and breezeways, with second-floor corridor walkways and open stairs serving every door. These have the most elements to count and the most feet on them, so the inspection is scheduled around tenant access and done building by building. Landscape irrigation soaks the stair bases and the walkway edges every night of a dry summer, scuppers clog with oak litter and pond the winter rain on the coating, and the west-facing balconies chalk through their membrane after enough days above 100. The repair is usually stringer bottoms, post bases, a re-sloped and recoated walkway and rails re-anchored into new wood.
Wood-frame floors over concrete podiums, wrap buildings around parking structures and 2020s garden communities with balconies on a liquid-applied membrane. The framing is young, so the findings are at the details: a slider threshold flashed short, a sealant joint opened by a summer of 105-degree afternoons, a drain that ponds water against the stucco. A building permitted on or after January 1, 2019 is inspected within six years of its certificate of occupancy rather than by the 2026 date, and much of this stock is inside that window. The condominium flats and townhome associations here are under SB 326; the rental buildings are under SB 721. Sun City Roseville's houses are single-family and under neither.
Count the units and check how they are held. Three or more rental units in one building puts it under SB 721: the first inspection was due January 1, 2026 and the cycle is six years. A condominium project of three or more units is under SB 326 instead: due January 1, 2025, a nine-year cycle, and a licensed structural or civil engineer or an architect does the inspecting. A building whose permit was issued on or after January 1, 2019 is inspected within six years of its certificate of occupancy. A duplex is under neither, nor is a single-family 55-plus street, though the same water does the same damage. Send the address and we settle it on the call.
Each finding is opened at the soffit or from the breezeway below, the rot cut back to sound wood, and the joist end, ledger, rim board or stringer rebuilt in treated lumber with new hangers and flashing. A chalked coating is stripped and replaced across the whole deck or landing with a new membrane, slope and drip edge, so the winter rain leaves the deck instead of entering the wall; a patch is where the next tide line starts. Posts are re-anchored into solid framing, rusted brackets replaced, and rails brought to the 42-inch height the City's deck handout asks for. Every element is photographed and numbered before, during and after, and the photographs become the close-out file.
Health and Safety Code 17973 lists who may sign an SB 721 report: architects and civil or structural engineers with a California license, general contractors who have held an A, B or C-5 license for five years and built multistory wood-frame buildings under it, and certified building inspectors or building officials, none of them on the City's staff for the job. It then sends the repairs to a qualified, licensed contractor who follows the report, the state code and the City's rules. In Roseville that repair contractor is Kaminskiy Care and Repair (CSLB #1106209), and the report can come from anyone on the list. When a rental building has no report yet, our sister company Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling (CSLB #922807, a B general building contractor since 2008) writes it under its own contract with you.
Repairs are priced from the report, finding by finding: a sistered stringer is one line, a recoated walkway is another, a balcony rebuilt from the ledger out with a new guardrail is a longer one. You read every line before anything is booked, and the report is yours to bid elsewhere if you choose. The SB 721 inspection, when a rental building still needs one, is one flat figure from Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling, set from the number of elements, the number of types and whether the framing is open underneath or closed in by stucco, and confirmed in writing before a date is set.
The findings and the service-life column tell us where to start; we confirm the law and set the site walk. A rental building with no report yet gets the inspection booked with our sister company, and the repair side begins when the report is signed.
Notice to tenants first. Each finding is examined from the walking surface and from below, enclosed framing is metered or opened at the soffit, and the scope is written line by line against the report's numbering.
Filed through Roseville's Online Permitting Services with the report and the repair detail attached, plans and calculations where a cantilever is rebuilt or a guardrail changed, the right counter for a Sacramento, Rocklin, Folsom or Placer County address, and shoring first wherever an element is an immediate threat.
The work inside the permit window, every element photographed, the permit signed off, and the close-out file for the re-inspection, the lender and the next buyer.
Health and Safety Code 17973(a) names the inspectors the law accepts: a licensed architect, a licensed civil or structural engineer, a general contractor with an A, B or C-5 license and five years as a license holder in multistory wood-frame construction, or a certified building inspector. Subdivision (g) does not bar the inspector's group from the repairs; it requires that a qualified and licensed contractor do them, following the inspector's recommendations, the Building Standards Code and the City's requirements. The owner contracts the inspection directly with the inspecting company, as the statute requires. In Roseville that is Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling, booked through our Highland Pointe Drive office, with the repairs under a separate contract with Kaminskiy Care and Repair, so the report stands on its own wherever you take it.
The local enforcement agency for a Roseville building is the City's Development Services Department, Building Division, at 311 Vernon Street. Every permit application goes in through the City's Online Permitting Services portal; there is no paper route, and the quick permits the City once issued at the counter are limited to water heaters, HVAC, panels and reroofs on one- and two-family houses. The City's own handout puts a deck attached to the building and termite damage repair on the permit list, so a balcony, stair or walkway repair that touches framing, a ledger, a guardrail or the waterproofing is filed as a building permit with the inspection report and the repair detail attached, and a rebuilt cantilever or a changed guardrail follows the City's raised-deck checklist with plans and calculations. Roseville publishes no separate SB 721 page or portal; the report stays in your records, and an element tagged an immediate threat is reported to the Building Division within 15 days. A Sacramento building answers to the City of Sacramento's Community Development Department, Building Division, on Richards Boulevard; Rocklin, Citrus Heights and Folsom have their own building divisions; a Granite Bay or Loomis address is unincorporated and goes to Placer County's Building Services Division in Auburn.
The first SB 721 inspection was due January 1, 2026, a year later than the statute first said after AB 2579 passed in 2024, and the cycle is six years from there; a building permitted on or after January 1, 2019 is inspected within six years of its certificate of occupancy instead. Once a report lists repairs, the permit application is due within 120 days and the work within 120 days of the permit. Repairs still open 180 days after the report bring a notice from the inspector to the City and a 30-day notice to the owner, after which a civil penalty of one hundred to five hundred dollars per day runs until the work is done, with a building safety lien available to the City behind it. Reports are kept for two inspection cycles and handed to the buyer when the building sells.

Call 916-507-2190Email or text it with the address. A site walk checks each finding at the building, every one gets its own written price, and the permit application goes through Roseville's online portal with the report and the repair detail attached, inside the statute's first 120-day window. The work runs inside the second window, 120 days from the permit, any immediate-threat element is closed and shored ahead of the rest, and the close-out file carries a photograph of every repaired element for the re-inspection.
Yes. Nothing in the statute ties the repairs to the person who signed the report; it asks for a qualified, licensed contractor following the inspector's recommendations. Our written scope keeps the report's numbering so the City, the lender and the board can read the two together.

Through our sister company. Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling (CSLB #922807) has held its B general building license since 2008, the class and the years the statute asks of a contractor who inspects. It contracts with you directly, counts the element types on the building, samples at least 15 percent of each and signs the photographed report inside 45 days. Kaminskiy Care and Repair (CSLB #1106209) takes the repair contract from there. Both are booked through the Highland Pointe Drive office, 916-507-2190.
Two companies in one group do it. Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling inspects and signs the report under its own contract with you; Kaminskiy Care and Repair contracts the repairs separately. The statute asks that a qualified and licensed contractor do the repairs to the inspector's recommendations and the building code, and says nothing against the inspecting company's group being that contractor. Because every finding carries a photograph and a description, the report is usable on its own and you may bid the repairs to anyone you like.
Book the inspection and keep the booking confirmation. The daily penalty in the statute attaches to repairs left undone after a report, not to a late first inspection, and the Building Division has no reason to pursue an owner who can show a scheduled date. If the inspection finds an immediate threat, that element is closed and shored on the visit and reported to the City within 15 days; every other finding goes onto the ordinary 120-day permit clock.
In a condominium project the association is responsible for the SB 326 inspection and, under most CC&Rs, for repairing the load-bearing framing and the waterproofing it maintains as common area, with exclusive-use balconies divided as the governing documents say. The inspection itself must be done by a licensed structural or civil engineer or an architect. A Roseville board hands us that report and we price and complete the repairs, phased so residents keep their stairs and walkways, and documented for the reserve study.
It is the inspection California requires every six years of the exterior elevated elements on a rental building with three or more units: the balconies, decks, porches, stairways, walkways and entry structures that stand more than six feet above the ground and depend on wood framing, with their guardrails and waterproofing. A qualified inspector identifies each element type, examines at least 15 percent of each, and signs a written report with photographs within 45 days. The first inspection was due January 1, 2026.
