SF Section 604 Inspections: What Property Owners Need to Know

[30olivie]

San Francisco enforces strict safety standards under Section 604, requiring full inspections of all exterior building elements, including balconies, decks, stairs, and fire escapes. Unlike state laws, this regulation applies to 100% of structures, regardless of height or material, making compliance more demanding. A&D Inspections provides thorough evaluations to identify corrosion, structural wear, and hidden damage that could pose safety risks. Their detailed reports help property owners meet city requirements and submit proper documentation to SFDBI. Missing deadlines can lead to daily fines and legal exposure, so timely action is essential. Regular inspections every five years ensure continued safety and compliance.
