Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The applicant sought damages from the strata corporation for water damage occurring in January 2020 and 2021, alleging negligent chimney maintenance. While the tribunal determined the strata was negligent for not acting on 2018 repair recommendations, the $6,000 claim was rejected due to insufficient documentation of actual repair expenses.
The applicant alleged the strata corporation failed to properly maintain chimney roof flashing, causing water intrusion during 2018-2019 that damaged interior surfaces. The owner requested $3,412.82 for repair costs and related expenses. The tribunal ruled against the applicant, determining the strata corporation acted appropriately by engaging qualified professionals and responding adequately when the leak issue escalated.
