1228 Quebec St, Vancouver · Downtown Vancouver
See the whole Downtown Vancouver risk profile →1228 Quebec St has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 2 times (2022–2024), surfacing 5 distinct issues across 5 categories. The dominant theme is governance & council conduct, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 1 of 2 decisions; total awards on record: $225.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
How the corporation is actually run — records access, meetings, bylaw enforcement, transparency. Repeated governance cases signal a contentious or opaque council, and that colours every decision made about your money and your building.
Water ingress, roof, and building-envelope failures are the most expensive problems a condo faces, and they’re what drive large special assessments. Structural cases on record are the strongest reason to commission an engineer’s review of the envelope.
Electrical, HVAC, elevators, and fire safety. Disputes here point to aging or contested infrastructure — confirm the status of major systems and whether any fire-safety orders are outstanding.
Noise, pets, smoking, short-term rentals. Day-to-day quality-of-life conflict — lower financial stakes, but a useful window into how neighbours and the council handle disputes.
Deferred repairs and general upkeep. Minor on their own, but alongside structural cases they reinforce a picture of a building falling behind.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The strata corporation sought $3,101.57 from the owner for emergency repairs after a common property sprinkler pipe froze and burst in the attic space above their unit. The claim was rejected as the relevant bylaws were not properly filed at the time of the incident, and proper notice was not given to the tenants who allegedly failed to heat the unit adequately.
The strata corporation obtained a compliance order requiring the respondent to cease smoking within their strata unit after multiple fines and warnings proved ineffective. The tribunal awarded $225 in fees and directed immediate cessation of smoking activities in the residential unit.
