Camera has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 3 times (2021–2026), surfacing 4 distinct issues across 4 categories. The dominant theme is governance & council conduct, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated elevated. Owners prevailed in 0 of 3 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.
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.
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 strata corporation attempted to collect $3,800 in total fines from multiple owners for alleged harassment and nuisance violations.
