Boundaries, parking, and renovation disputes — who controls and can alter shared space. Usually lower-stakes individually, but frequent cases show ongoing friction between owners and the board.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The owners made unauthorized modifications by removing walls connecting enclosed balconies to storage areas in their strata lots. Despite initially indicating potential approval contingent on permits and safety compliance, the strata corporation subsequently denied the alterations without explanation, leading to a tribunal ruling of significant unfairness.
The tribunal determined that an inflatable hot tub placed on a rooftop patio constituted permitted patio furniture under strata bylaws and posed no structural, safety, or drainage risks. The strata corporation's enforcement actions were deemed reasonable but unwarranted as no bylaw breach had occurred. The applicants received compensation for tribunal fees and expert costs.
