702 E King Edward Ave has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 1 times (2018–2018), surfacing 3 distinct issues across 3 categories. The dominant theme is water, envelope & structural, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 1 of 1 decisions; total awards on record: $788.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
Water, envelope & structural
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.
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.
Maintenance & upkeep
Deferred repairs and general upkeep. Minor on their own, but alongside structural cases they reinforce a picture of a building falling behind.
