The owner sought $12,500 for alleged inadequate bylaw enforcement, harassment, and shed repair expenses. The tribunal rejected all claims from both parties, determining the owner could not demonstrate monetary losses from parking infractions while the strata corporation could not substantiate shed removal expenses.

120 Milross Ave has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 2 times (2021–2023), 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 2 decisions; total awards on record: $3,284.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
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.
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.
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.
Maintenance & upkeep
Deferred repairs and general upkeep. Minor on their own, but alongside structural cases they reinforce a picture of a building falling behind.
The decisions
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The owners disputed a strata corporation's mandate requiring carpet installation over hardwood floors due to neighbor noise concerns. The tribunal determined the strata corporation inadequately investigated the complaints and unfairly imposed flooring restrictions without proving unreasonable noise levels, ordering reimbursement of costs.
Who runs this building
