Expert HOA & COA Management
Across Los Angeles & Ventura Counties
Davis-Stirling specialists. SB 326 coordination. Flat-fee pricing. 48-hour board response. Zero hidden costs.
AmLo Management’s California practice serves HOA and COA communities throughout the greater Los Angeles area and Ventura County, operating out of our Marina del Rey office. California is home to one of the most active and complex community association environments in the country — with the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act governing everything from financial disclosures and election procedures to enforcement and reserve fund requirements.
The California HOA market is shaped by a high concentration of condominium associations in coastal cities, large master-planned HOAs in suburban communities like Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks, and a regulatory environment that continues to evolve. SB 326, which took effect in 2020, created new mandatory balcony and exterior elevated element inspection requirements for condominium associations — one of the most significant California HOA compliance obligations in recent years. AmLo manages SB 326 tracking and coordination as part of standard management.
Every AmLo client in California gets a named community manager, real-time transparency through our board portal into every invoice and homeowner communication, flat-fee pricing with no hidden charges, and a 48-hour response to every board inquiry.
Marina Del Rey, CA 90292
SB 326 Compliance: California condominium associations with three or more units must complete a visual inspection of all exterior elevated elements — balconies, decks, stairways, walkways — by January 1, 2025, and every nine years thereafter. AmLo coordinates SB 326 inspector engagement and tracks inspection status and remediation requirements as part of standard management.
Annual Budget & Financial Disclosures
Davis-Stirling requires associations to distribute a detailed annual budget, reserve funding summary, and financial statement to all members each year. AmLo prepares and distributes all required annual disclosures on time and in the required format.
Secret Ballot Elections
California requires all board elections and membership votes on certain matters to be conducted by secret ballot with an independent inspector of elections. AmLo manages the full election process — notice, ballot distribution, independent counting, and certified results.
Open Meeting Requirements
Board meetings must be open to all members with proper advance notice. Approved open meeting minutes must be made available within 30 days. AmLo manages all notice timelines and distributes minutes through the board portal document library.
CC&R Enforcement & Discipline
Davis-Stirling establishes specific procedures for enforcement — required notice, an opportunity to be heard, and internal dispute resolution before fines can be imposed. AmLo manages the full enforcement process in compliance with these requirements.
Reserve Fund Requirements
California requires associations to conduct a reserve study, maintain reserves at a reasonable level, and disclose reserve fund status annually. AmLo coordinates reserve study updates, maintains separate reserve accounts, and includes reserve disclosures in the annual budget package.
SB 326 Balcony Inspection
SB 326 requires condominium associations with three or more units to visually inspect all exterior elevated elements by January 1, 2025, and every nine years after. AmLo coordinates inspector engagement and tracks remediation requirements as standard management.

Davis-Stirling Specialists
California’s HOA law is among the most detailed in the country. AmLo managers are trained specifically on the Davis-Stirling Act — from financial disclosure requirements to enforcement procedures to SB 326 balcony inspection coordination.
Marina del Rey Office
AmLo’s California practice operates out of Marina del Rey in the heart of the LA coastal market. We serve communities we can be physically present for — not a remote team covering the entire state from one central office.
Real-Time Board Transparency
Through our board portal, California boards see every invoice, every work order, every homeowner email and management response in real time — without waiting for a monthly PDF or calling to find out what is happening.
Flat-Fee, No Hidden Charges
One monthly fee covers everything. No per-page charges, no postage surcharges, no after-hours fees, no vendor markups. California boards switching to AmLo routinely find they were paying significantly more than the quoted base fee with their prior manager.
48-Hour Board Response
Every board inquiry receives a response within 48 hours — not a ticket acknowledgment, an actual response. California boards used to slow communication queues notice the difference from the first week.
No Vendor Markups or Kickbacks
AmLo does not mark up vendor invoices and does not accept referral fees from vendors it recommends. California associations pay exactly what vendors charge — nothing more.
