Watch items

Insured replacement value / unit
$259,137/unit · score 14 · cohort: $482,335/unit
−46% vs the cohort median of $482,335 per unit ($13,475,103 total) — possible under-insurance, scored on a stricter downside curve. It does not by itself establish adequacy.
Reserve per unit balance
$6,085 · score 24 · cohort: $9,795
−37.9% vs the cohort median ($316,406 across 52 units). Scored on the distance from the median, not on rank among peers. Higher is favourable.
Units leased
42% leased · score 38 · cohort: 15% leased
Formal leased-unit count from the status certificate, against a 15% cohort median. The absolute leasing scale gives 46/100 and the cohort adjustment brings it to 38/100. Weighted at half strength: only 7 peers had occupancy data.

Document audit

The rules that matter, ranked.

Every by-law and rule in the package is read, and the ones that affect owners are flagged by importance.

High importance

  • Dishwashers and washing machines are prohibited inside units because of plumbing capacity; shared laundry rooms are provided instead (Rule 31).Unusual for Ontario condos. No in-suite laundry significantly affects buyer appeal and resale value.

Moderate importance

  • Propane and charcoal barbecues are prohibited on balconies and in exclusive-use lockers (Rule 32).Restricts a common use of balconies.
  • Units can't be used for any business that brings the public in, including some home offices and daycares (Rule 20).Limits work-from-home businesses that need client visits.
  • Owners who lease must give tenants the declaration, by-laws and rules, get a signed covenant and register tenant contacts (Rule 21).Adds landlord paperwork; gaps can cause enforcement disputes.
  • Only licensed cars, wagons, vans or half-ton pickups may park on common elements; no major repairs on site (Rule 15).Restricts truck and RV owners.

Plus 5 standard provisions, and the full document audit: the 31-year reserve study, budget, audited statements, what fees cover and what owners pay for.
