125 Milross Ave, Vancouver · Downtown Vancouver
See the whole Downtown Vancouver risk profile →125 Milross Ave has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 4 times (2019–2026), surfacing 8 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 4 decisions; total awards on record: $1,389.
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.
Special assessments and fee disputes hit owners directly — a single levy can run tens of thousands per unit. A pattern here means the building’s finances have been contested. Ask for the reserve-fund study and the levy history before you offer.
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.
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.
An owner challenged their strata corporation's bylaw requiring most owners to pay strata fees by pre-authorized payment, arguing it unfairly discriminates against those without professional property managers. The owner also sought reimbursement of a $500 lien clearance fee. The tribunal dismissed all claims.
The applicant contested a strata bylaw mandating pre-authorized payments for most owners while allowing exemptions for units under professional management. The challenge alleged discriminatory treatment between self-managing and professionally-managed owners. The tribunal's final determination is not available due to incomplete decision text.
The owner of a strata unit sought compensation for water damage to flooring resulting from building envelope defects including failed window sealing and corner issues. The tribunal rejected the claim, determining the strata corporation took appropriate remedial action and fulfilled its maintenance obligations for the common property defects.
A strata corporation levied $1,150 in penalties against the owner for purported bylaw violations but failed to provide adequate written notification of the complaints or allow sufficient opportunity for the owner to respond as mandated by legislation. The tribunal determined proper procedures were not followed and reversed the penalties.
