36 E 14th Ave has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 3 times (2021–2024), surfacing 6 distinct issues across 5 categories. The dominant theme is common property & use, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 0 of 3 decisions; total awards on record: $2,753.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
Common property & use
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.
Governance & council conduct
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, envelope & structural
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.
Building systems & safety
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.
Livability
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.
The decisions
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.

The applicant filed complaints regarding construction noise and alleged property damage from renovation work in units located above their strata lot. The tribunal determined the strata corporation inadequately addressed noise complaints and bylaw enforcement but handled property damage matters appropriately. The strata corporation was required to pay $2,753.49 including damages and fees.
