Wow those two things couldn't be further apart. Faulty construction is rarely a city of Calgary liability. Engineers sign off on design and build inspections, not the city. And with stucco application, you can't inspect the thickness of stucco over an entire building envelop. While the province has said inspection measures need to be improved, the liability for stucco issues is on the builder, then the sub trades that applied it. They know what the building codes are and it is up to them to conform to those codes. Those people tend to go out of business rapidly.
Leaky condos suck and are one of the reasons I won't buy a condo ever again.
