Dear Tony: I am a commercial property owner of a strata lot in a mixed-use development. Our strata corporation recently defeated a special levy to replace our hot and cold domestic water where each unit would be paying approximately $25,000 depending on the size of the unit. Every owner registered for the meeting and received a voting card for each strata lot they represented issued by the management company and some voters had multiple cards representing residential proxies of other units.

Dear Tony: Our strata corporation has a parking garage under a landscaped area between our three buildings. The landscaping includes patios, walkways, and extensive planting with trees that now exceed the height of our buildings. We have been advised the parking garage membrane has failed, which is obvious by the extensive number of leaks we have in the garage, and there is a risk of structural damages if we don’t replace the waterproofing.
