http://www.lisagibson.net/ | Leaky condos are a huge issue in Vancouver â we live in a rain forest! Buyers need to be cautious around anything built between 1980 and 2000. To make an informed decision when you buy, look into the following: Was the building built between 1980 and 2000? What is the history of the other buildings in that area? Has an engineers report been conducted on the building? Read all the strata minutes for at least the last 2 years. Has the building already been rain-screened?
