See the whole West End risk profile →Seastar has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 4 times (2021–2026), surfacing 5 distinct issues across 3 categories. The dominant theme is governance & council conduct, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. Owners prevailed in 1 of 4 decisions; total awards on record: $41,542.
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.
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.
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.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The applicant disputed the strata corporation's decision to install swimming and moorage buoys without obtaining proper owner consent, requesting recovery of $5,700 in associated costs. The case record appears incomplete, preventing determination of the final outcome or any limitation period issues.
A strata owner challenged bylaw changes made at a 2021 annual general meeting regarding boat slip allocation and dock maintenance fees. The owner claimed the meeting procedures were improper and that the new bylaw was unfair and conflicted with the strata's moorage licence. The tribunal dismissed the owner's claims and refused to order reassignment of boat slips between units.
The applicant disputed the validity of bylaw amendments regarding boat dock allocation and moorage fees that were passed during a 2021 annual meeting. The challenge focused on alleged procedural irregularities in how the meeting was conducted and claims that the resulting bylaws were inequitable. The tribunal's final determination could not be established from the incomplete decision text.
The respondent conducted renovations in their strata lot without proper authorization, which resulted in damage to the fire sprinkler system and subsequent flooding. The strata corporation sought reimbursement of $40,884.12 for repairs and associated expenses. The tribunal ruled in favor of the strata corporation, finding the respondent violated bylaws.
