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.
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.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The applicants sought full window replacement and damage compensation after 2021 IGU installations led to condensation issues affecting sills, walls, and floors. The tribunal ruled the strata corporation's choice of conservative repairs over complete replacement was justified given expert disagreements and cost considerations.
The owner requested $1,634.21 reimbursement for legal costs related to a common property repair dispute. The tribunal determined it lacked authority to adjudicate the matter, as section 59(6) of the Strata Property Act directs Form B information certificate accuracy disputes to BC Supreme Court rather than CRT.
