756 Great Northern Way, Vancouver · Mount Pleasant
See the whole Mount Pleasant risk profile →756 Great Northern Way has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 4 times (2018–2023), surfacing 7 distinct issues across 5 categories. The dominant theme is water, envelope & structural, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 2 of 4 decisions; total awards on record: $2,705.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
Property owners filed a claim regarding substantial water damage to their strata lot in November 2021. The damage resulted from water leaking through a balcony located above their bedroom area. The tribunal record is incomplete and lacks final determinations or awarded relief.
Owners of a strata unit filed a noise complaint regarding laminate flooring installed by upstairs residents. Despite carpet being installed later, noise issues continued. The tribunal determined the strata corporation must investigate potential structural problems in floor assemblies when evidence indicates possible defects, ordering professional inspection and repairs.
The applicant prevailed against the respondent strata corporation for insufficient enforcement of noise regulations regarding a neighbouring unit owner's disruptive stereo and TV from December 2019 onward. The tribunal determined the strata violated its obligations by issuing merely one $50 penalty despite acknowledging the disturbances and receiving numerous written complaints over ten months, while treating the applicant unfairly through procedural obstacles.
A strata corporation sought to impose $3,500 in fines on a unit owner for unauthorized rentals violating bylaws. The tribunal determined the owner obtained automatic exemptions in 2012 and 2015 due to the strata's failure to respond within statutory deadlines. Only a $500 fine for December 2014 was upheld.
