What this building’s record shows

Plaza Del Mar has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 1 times (20242024), surfacing 8 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 1 decisions; total awards on record: $8,720.

Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.

Water, envelope & structural

High severity4 decisions

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.

Common property & use

Elevated severity2 decisions

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.

Boundary Issues · 1Renovation/Alteration · 1

Governance & council conduct

Elevated severity1 decision

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.

Special Assessment · 1

Maintenance & upkeep

Low severity1 decision

Deferred repairs and general upkeep. Minor on their own, but alongside structural cases they reinforce a picture of a building falling behind.
