The strata corporation pursued monetary penalties and cleanup expenses from the owner for disturbing neighbors with noise, dropping food items from a balcony, and filing unfounded smoking allegations. The tribunal upheld the strata's investigation methods but invalidated $600 in penalties due to procedural violations under strata legislation.

Modern has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 1 times (2020–2020), surfacing 3 distinct issues across 3 categories. The dominant theme is governance & council conduct, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated elevated. Owners prevailed in 0 of 1 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.
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.
