LEAKY CONDO
UPDATE

Hundreds of North Vancouver condominium or highrise

apartment ovyners have been: struggling to cope with the

problem of water damage to their homes. How bad is it?

“Some owners have faced repair bills of $15,000 - $20,000

for failure of the exterior cladding system,’ said John

Guenther, Manager of Inspections for the City of North

Vancouver. The City is working with the community and

industry representatives to develop better tools for strata

owners and managers to assist them in making major repair

decisions. Mock-up assemblies and a short video are available at City

Hal! to explain wall cladding and drainage. A questionnaire and hand-out

are provided to assist in developing community awareness. Once the information is gathered various options will
be introduced to City Council to address the design, construction and education issues. You can call John Guenther at 983-7373 if you have

any questions. ‘
