The strata at the City Club on the Park apartment highrise has won a partial victory over an owner who changed the layout of her condo without strata approval.
A Burnaby owner who changed her apartment's layout without strata authorization has been ordered to pay $12,400 in bylaw fines and reverse the renovations.
The strata said Liang had changed the location of the master bedroom door, knocked out two walls in the original ensuite, swapped out the bathtub with a shower, installed a cabinet where the master bedroom door used to be, put in a new door from the master bedroom into the ensuite, relocated the electrical panel and reconfigured the storeroom so the washer and dryer were accessible through the storeroom instead of the hallway.
She said the strata should be ordered to cancel the bylaw fines, approve the alterations to her apartment, sign the necessary paperwork, and pay $20,000 as damages for significant unfairness.Liang was ordered to pay $13,731.57 in bylaw fines and pre-judgement interest and given 90 days to restore her apartment to its original layout.
But the strata was ordered to reverse the rest of the bylaw fines and $7,273.26 in chargebacks for legal fees on her account.
