Six years for apartments, nine for condos. Long Beach publishes the balcony inspection clock plainly.
Long Beach sets out the schedule plainly: licensed professionals must inspect these structures every six years for buildings with three or more multifamily dwelling units, and every nine years for condominium projects. If you own or manage multifamily property here, that cycle is what generates the repair list, and the repairs are our side of it.
With 176,032 dwelling units and about 58 percent of them renter occupied, this is one of the largest multifamily markets we work in. Shared walkways, open stairs and stacked balconies dominate, and they have to stay usable while being repaired.
One local quirk is worth knowing. The 1,200 foot Palos Verdes hills block west to east airflow and a good deal of the coastal moisture that defines Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica and Newport Beach. Long Beach is coastal without the same constant marine damp, which changes how a surface weathers here compared with the beach cities up the coast.
An inspection report tends to read as a list of symptoms: soft decking, cracked coating, corrosion at connections, water staining below. Our job is to work back from those to the entry point, because two balconies with identical findings can need very different repairs.
We rebuild framing where it has gone, correct fall so the deck drains instead of ponding, and fabricate the steel: stringers, landings, guardrails and precast treads. Doing the metal in our own shop keeps a stair closure short on a building where that stair is the only way home.

Licensed professionals must inspect these structures every six years for buildings with three or more multifamily dwelling units, and every nine years for condominium projects. We handle the repairs those inspections generate and pull the permits to close them out.
Yes. Bring us the report and we scope the repairs off the findings, price it, permit it through Long Beach Building and Safety, and get the work inspected.
We stage multifamily work so people keep a safe route in and out. On a shared stairway that usually means sequencing sections rather than closing the whole run at once.
A professionally installed waterproofing system typically lasts many years. Capital Deck & Stair backs most projects with an 8-year warranty on workmanship, and proper maintenance can extend the life well beyond that.
Cost depends on the surface size, condition, and the coating system required. We provide a clear, itemized quote after a free on-site inspection, with no obligation and no pressure.
