Davis-Stirling and SB 326 Both Apply to Your Association
Your association is governed by the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (Civil Code sections 4000 through 6150). Condominium associations with three or more units also carry SB 326 obligations, requiring visual inspection of all exterior elevated elements including balconies, decks, stairways, and walkways by January 1, 2025, and every nine years thereafter. AmLo manages Davis-Stirling compliance and coordinates SB 326 inspector engagement and remediation tracking as part of standard management, no separate compliance billing.
Manhattan Beach associations are governed by the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (California Civil Code §4000 et seq.). Manhattan Beach's oceanfront condominium associations face reserve fund planning requirements under Civil Code §5550 that must reflect the premium coastal replacement costs of Strand-adjacent property salt air corrosion, Pacific storm exposure, and beachfront building system replacement costs that standard inland reserve analysis materially underestimates. AmLo engages reserve study specialists with South Bay coastal expertise for Manhattan Beach associations.
Why Manhattan Beach Boards Choose AmLo Management
Marina del Rey Office, In the Market
AmLo’s California office is in Marina del Rey. We are not managing Los Angeles County communities remotely from another state or from a centralized national office. We are physically here, in the market, available to be present for the communities we manage. That matters when issues arise that need eyes on site, not just an email response.
Davis-Stirling and SB 326 Specialists
California 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, and manage SB 326 balcony inspection coordination as part of standard management.
Real-Time Transparency Through Our Board Portal
Your board sees every invoice, every work order, and every homeowner communication in real time through our board portal. No waiting for a monthly PDF report. No calling to find out what is happening. The information is always current and always accessible.
Flat Fee, No Hidden Charges
One monthly fee covers everything. No per-page charges, no postage surcharges, no after-hours billing, no vendor markups. Boards switching to AmLo routinely find their prior manager’s real annual cost was significantly above the stated base fee.
48-Hour Board Response
Every board inquiry receives a substantive response within 48 hours. Not a ticket confirmation. An actual answer. 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. Your association pays exactly what vendors charge. Nothing added on top.
