Deferred repairs and general upkeep. Minor on their own, but alongside structural cases they reinforce a picture of a building falling behind.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The applicant pursued $113,900 for water damage allegedly caused by inadequate maintenance of windows and dryer vents. The tribunal rejected the claim as it was filed against an incorrect party - the residential section rather than the strata corporation held maintenance responsibility for these common elements per the bylaws.
A strata lot owner sought compensation from the strata corporation for flooring damage caused by water leaking from upper units, along with documentation confirming repairs were completed. The tribunal granted access to documents and awarded partial fees but declined to order damage payment due to insufficient evidence regarding insurance deductible thresholds.
