The B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal ruled it was 'not reasonable' for the strata at the Chancellor in Burnaby to leave the wall unfinished and the pipes exposed for such a 'lengthy period of time.'
A Burnaby condo owner who claimed $90,000 in damages after her strata's plumbers cut into her wall to access sewer pipes has been granted $500 by B.C.'s Civil Resolution Tribunal.
In March 2022, the plumber showed up at her apartment again, Huang said, this time to drain the same pipes through her bathroom, "allegedly on an emergency basis," according to ruling.She claimed $30,000 in damages for loss of enjoyment of her property, $30,000 for repairs and $30,000 because she had intended to rent out the property but could not because the strata had left the wall unfinished and the pipes exposed.
Huang argued the strata could have continued using cleanouts already located in the building's lobby ceiling to clear blockages, but Cambrey said the plumbing contractor had recommended Huang's unit as a less costly alternative because it didn't involve using scaffolding or scissor lifts for access – and Cambrey ruled it was reasonable for the strata to take the less costly alternative.
