See the whole Kitsilano risk profile →Savona has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 2 times (2021–2023), surfacing 4 distinct issues across 4 categories. The dominant theme is maintenance & upkeep, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 1 of 2 decisions; total awards on record: $225.

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.
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 of a strata unit requested that the strata corporation engage a contractor to address substantial staining issues affecting their balcony. The tribunal record is incomplete, preventing determination of the final decision regarding the strata's obligation for balcony repair and maintenance work.
The owner challenged a two-week housekeeping service suspension imposed after funeral attendance during the pandemic. The tribunal ruled the strata corporation acted beyond its authority by suspending services without proper notice, established rules, or following required enforcement procedures under its bylaws.
Across 98 buildings, this manager has 27 tribunal cases on record — a dispute rate of 1.6 per 100 units. A manager’s portfolio-wide rate is a signal of how they run buildings generally, beyond this one address.
