665 E 6th Ave, Vancouver · Riley Park
See the whole Riley Park risk profile →665 E 6th Ave has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 4 times (2018–2021), surfacing 7 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 0 of 4 decisions; total awards on record: $901.
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.
Deferred repairs and general upkeep. Minor on their own, but alongside structural cases they reinforce a picture of a building falling behind.
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.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The owners alleged their strata corporation incorrectly mixed special assessment funds with contingency reserves and did not refund unused levy amounts. The tribunal determined 2016 repairs were appropriately funded from reserves but ordered the strata to repay $5,655.40 plus interest and fees from the unused 2018 water damage assessment to the four owners.
The applicant requested access to records from a 2016 annual general meeting and sought a financial audit from the strata corporation. Following partial document production by the strata corporation after the dispute was filed, the applicant withdrew their claim. The tribunal approved the withdrawal, noting the strata corporation faced no significant prejudice as future requests could be made under applicable legislation.
The owner requested immediate replacement of 1976 aluminum windows and doors, plus access to special levy financial records from 2018. The tribunal ruled against both requests, determining the strata corporation was appropriately handling window replacements through a planned building-wide project pending owner funding approval, and had adequately provided the requested financial documentation despite delays.
A strata corporation attempted to compel an owner to remove unauthorized laundry appliances from their strata lot and recover $13,200 in penalties. The tribunal rejected both requests - the removal order was time-barred under the limitation period, and the monetary penalties were deemed invalid due to inadequate written notice procedures.
