I understand why you're asking about the county code but do yourself a big favor and google the Berkley collapse.
Lots of pieces to the balcony puzzle. Materials used, building techniques, age of home/balcony, proper flashing around entry ways to the balcony, etc., etc. etfuckingc.
As others have said, lawsuits are nothing to play around with, especially if you plan to have non family members on this balcony at any point. Kids and their friends or overnight guests, for example.
If you can afford it I'd say let an experienced contractor handle the rebuild since the rot issue is a BIG factor.
Even if you go the contractor route educate yourself on the potential hazards so that you can oversee the job effectively.
