Preliminary risk signals

These are derived from public registry data — construction era, size and depreciation report status. They are not a substitute for reading the actual strata document package, which is where the real risks live.

  • Rainscreen / leaky-condo era (1985-2000)

    elevated

    Built 1998. Buildings from this era frequently have building envelope history — some remediated, some partially, some not. Check the depreciation report and any engineering reports for completed and outstanding envelope scope.

  • Mid-size strata

    info

    52 units. Typical Metro Vancouver / Calgary / Edmonton strata size.

About this information

Building data is compiled from public land title, municipal, and strata registry sources. It is provided for informational purposes and is not legal, financial, or real estate advice. Always verify against the strata corporation’s official documents (Form B, bylaws, financial statements, depreciation report, minutes) before making a purchase decision.

Condo fees and strata fees

Monthly fees at 3002 4th Ave W are set by the strata corporation’s annual budget, approved at the AGM, and disclosed in the Form B information certificate. They cover operating costs (insurance, utilities, management, maintenance) and contributions to the Contingency Reserve Fund. To see the actual current figure and the fee trajectory over recent years, you need the budget, financial statements, and recent AGM minutes.

Special levy history

A special levy is a one-time assessment for unbudgeted capital work — envelope remediation, roofing, plumbing, parkade. The history of special levies (and the levies projected in the depreciation report) is the single best signal for what living at Santa Barbara might cost over the next 5–10 years. SearchStrata extracts the full levy history from minutes and AGM packages with page-level citations.

Reserve fund & depreciation report

As a BC strata with 52 units, this building is generally required to maintain a depreciation report refreshed every five years. The report projects 30 years of capital expenditures; the Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) balance versus the report’s recommended contributions tells you whether owners are saving fast enough for what’s coming.

Frequently asked questions about Santa Barbara

When was Santa Barbara built?

Santa Barbara was built in 1998, making it approximately 28 years old. Construction era is a key signal in BC because buildings from the 1985–2000 rainscreen window often carry building-envelope history, while post-2010 buildings are typically still inside the 2-5-10 New Home Warranty period for structural items.

How many units are in Santa Barbara?

Santa Barbara has 52 units across 4 floors. Unit count matters because capital costs (roofing, envelope, parkade work) are split across every owner — smaller buildings concentrate cost per unit, larger ones spread it.

What is the strata plan number for Santa Barbara?

Santa Barbara is registered under strata plan LMS3195. The prefix identifies the registration era (NWS = older, EPS/BCS = newer post-2010 registrations under the Strata Property Act). The strata plan defines the boundaries of common property, limited common property, and individual strata lots and is referenced throughout the Form B information certificate and bylaws.

How can I find the condo fees and special levy history for Santa Barbara?

Current monthly condo / strata fees, the special levy history, and the contingency reserve fund balance are not in any public registry — they live in the strata corporation's document package: the Form B information certificate, financial statements, recent AGM minutes, and the depreciation report. Request the package through your realtor (or directly via the strata management company) and upload it to SearchStrata to get every figure extracted and explained with page-level citations.

Is Santa Barbara affected by the BC leaky-condo era?

Santa Barbara was built in 1998, inside the rainscreen-era window (roughly 1985–2000) when many BC buildings developed building envelope failures. Whether this specific building has been remediated, partially remediated, or still has outstanding scope can only be confirmed from the depreciation report and any engineering reports commissioned by the strata. SearchStrata reads those reports and extracts completed and outstanding envelope scope with the dollar figures discussed in minutes.

Does Santa Barbara require a depreciation report?

Yes. Santa Barbara has 52 units, and BC strata corporations with five or more residential strata lots are generally required to obtain a depreciation report and refresh it every five years. The report projects 30 years of major capital expenditures and is the single most important document for understanding the building's long-term financial trajectory.
