Davenport has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 2 times (2022–2024), surfacing 4 distinct issues across 4 categories. The dominant theme is water, envelope & structural, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 0 of 2 decisions; total awards on record: $0.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
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.
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.
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.
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
