What this building’s record shows
Corus has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 3 times (2018–2026), 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: $178.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
Governance & council conduct
Elevated severity3 decisions
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.
Governance Issues · 3
Water, envelope & structural
Elevated severity1 decision
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.
Windows & Doors · 1
Building systems & safety
Elevated severity1 decision
Electrical, HVAC, elevators, and fire safety. Disputes here point to aging or contested infrastructure — confirm the status of major systems and whether any fire-safety orders are outstanding.
HVAC Systems · 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.

Three related strata disputes concerning proper maintenance of corporate records, adequate notification protocols for owners, and procedural validity of meetings. The tribunal's decision documentation was incomplete without a final determination or resolution of the matters.
2018 BCCRT 695
2018-11-07Split decision$178
The tenants alleged inadequate maintenance of common areas including windows and ventilation systems. The tribunal determined the strata corporation reasonably relied on engineering assessments showing no major defects, rejecting maintenance claims.
