Thats a great concept, but:

A: they dont work, they are on CERB or whatever its called (or so they told me) and they are home 24/7.

B: even strata cant get into their unit as the owners are not allowing anyone in due to "covid" / for the leak issue, and this is off topic but their floors were snapping in and out of place, i wanted to get a flooring guy in there to inspect whats going on, and same thing, no to covid.
(i ended up cutting out my ceiling / turns out the 2x8 beam supports nails-wood were snapping in and out of place every time they walk on them) mostly fixed now

C: im praying they leave the water on and leave to whistler or something, that would be my only chance to get someone to go in there. Il keep your ideas in mind

Unfortunately you cant really enter someones unit, unless its an emergency, and they are not home.

Euro7, my building is a 45 year old dump, wood structure, i just got unlucky with the whole scenario.

Keep your presale, this is just one of those shitty condo situations out of the other 100 people that are fine.
I have another place in port moody that ive owned for 3 years, 20 years old, 0 problems, minus a few power thirsty strata people

I have some ideas, il report back in a few weeks / months with what came of it

Thanks for everyones advice,

Spoiler!

A: has nothing to do with it
B: stop doing work and send a formal email to strata that either strata fix it or you sue them they have 10 days to reply and cost of lawyer will be charged. if they dont reply. Pay $150 for lawyer letter (sunk cost). See how fast it'll get resolved. COVID is not an issue for entry - as long as owners are not self isolating for 2 weeks - building manager or repairman can go in as long as they are masked and socially distant. You can enter someones unit as long as you give them 72hrs written notice if it causes damage or is a threat to life/safety.
