The dominant theme is governance & council conduct, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 0 of 2 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.
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.
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.
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.
A unit owner claimed the strata corporation should cover interior water damage repairs and sought refunds of special levies totaling over $100,000, plus lost rental income. The strata argued the owner was responsible for interior repairs and that the special levies were properly imposed. The tribunal dismissed all of the owner's claims.
The owner bought a strata lot knowing of water damage, expecting the strata corporation to handle repairs. Conflict emerged over whether the strata corporation's obligation covered internal damage or just external repairs, leading to disputes about special assessments for the work.
Across 135 buildings, this manager has 24 tribunal cases on record — a dispute rate of 1 per 100 units. A manager’s portfolio-wide rate is a signal of how they run buildings generally, beyond this one address.
