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.
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.
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.
