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.
Pasadena associations are governed by the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (California Civil Code §4000 et seq.). Pasadena's historic districts create specific governance considerations around architectural standards enforcement under Civil Code §4765 renovation approval processes for historically designated neighborhoods require management with preservation awareness. San Rafael Hills communities carry fire zone vegetation management obligations under Civil Code §4725. Reserve fund planning under Civil Code §5550 for Pasadena's premium communities must reflect the quality standards embedded in the city's exceptional architectural heritage. AmLo tracks all three frameworks simultaneously.
