Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.

Water, envelope & structural

High severity2 decisions

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.

Financial disputes & fees

Elevated severity1 decision

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.

The owner received strata approval for skylights in 2012 and was assessed $3,823.75 to integrate them during a 2020 roof replacement. Despite the contractor using different plywood specifications than engineered plans, the tribunal determined this wasn't a material breach since the skylights operated correctly. The owner owes $2,993.53 including outstanding balance, interest and fees.
