Description
California Senate Bills 721 and 326 add new construction standards for apartment and condo builders—not to mention cost, liability and risk factors—and failure to prepare for them may result in significant financial and legal consequences. Stemming from the Berkeley deck collapse, these bills require inspections of elevated elements to prevent future failures and risk of injury. Beyond that, they give plaintiff attorneys unprecedented access to the buildings you’ve constructed, opening you to new legal risk. This critical session will help you understand changes to the building code, what types of multifamily construction require the inspections, how to adapt your current construction plans and HOA or Operation budgets for the inspections, and tools to prepare for the financial and legal challenges you may face.
