Recently moved to a newly built condo and there was a notice informing that a private company has been hired to have a narcotics sniffer dog sweep all the publicly accessible parts of the building.
What is the point to this and is this a normal occurrence by FSResdential? Could the strata even do something if the dog smelled something in the hallway? I personally don't do drugs but I'm sure the dog will get hits of weed on most floors. Seems like a waste of budget to me.
Can't say I have ever heard of that before, maybe the building is having issues with drug dealers? That being said even if the dog found something it doesn't give them the right to enter the condo.
If i was paying strata fee's id be fucking choked money is going towards this shit, unless it's been like a chronic drug dealer problem and not some strata on a rampage

Lol literally just heard about this from a coworker about his building (likely same building). Sounds weird, so if they sniff your apartment and find a dime bag of weed then what?

They won't be sniffing your unit.
They are only allowed to sniff common areas, like the lobby and the hallways of each floor.
And even if the dog pick's something up, that isn't enough to go to the police to investigate, I think. It would take a lot more than that to get a warrant to enter the unit.

Yup. Very curious to see what happens after the sniffer dog goes through the building.

In the elevator in our building, we found 10+ bottles (empties and some half full/full) of booze stashed in the shelf that houses the light fixtures. I guess someone wanted to drink without their SO finding out. Now the council president keeps checking weekly and throws out whatever bottles he finds.
Same thing with my apartment too, where the strata council approved a dog sweep. Here is the email. Notice that they also say that smoking weed within your unit is also a violation.

To All Owners and Residents
Please be advised that the Strata Council has been in receipt of numerous and ongoing complaints in regards to Marijuana smoking in the building. The Council has agreed to contract a K9 unit to perform random sweeps within the building to seek out offenders. Residents who are found to be smoking marijuana within their units may be fined in accordance with Strata’s Bylaws.
Residents who have a medical condition and have not yet sent in a Medical Permit are asked to submit one to (redacted) ASAP to avoid any fines.
We thank you for your attention pertaining to the above. Should you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.
Blazers are gonna blaze. I still don't see how this would deter anyone unless you are clearly seen on a surveillance video doing so. If a dog smells the door of a unit and singles it out does the Strata now have probable cause to enter? Even with notice? I get that weed smoke is troublesome for strata's and those who do not partake and the smell would be annoying to those same people but how does one go about enforcing it? The rules are going to get a lot tighter when it becomes legal next year so perhaps these are just the preliminary steps that are being taken.
Dealers may stash product in the lobby and have their customers wait for someone to enter to gain access and then pick up their purchase in the agreed spot. Perhaps it leaves a gap from drop off to pick up and thus preventing a trafficking charge conviction.

Once weed is legal i dont think stratas are going to have a leg to stand on in enforcement of weed smoke.

I"d be more concern about Airbnb and whore house micros than someone smoking a joint. These strata run by old aunties soccer moms or something?
this should be the more of a concern.
Everyone gets their panties in a knot over someone smoking pot inside their dwelling but somehow giving your keys to random strangers every week (Airbnb) is less of a concern to many over pot.
Tobacco and Pets are legal. Doesn't stop Stratas from banning either of those
If you own your unit however, there isn't very much recourse you can take to stop it. Pets are one thing because they are coming and going through common areas, parkades, etc
Besides getting fined over and over again it's going to be a hell of a court battle to ever take actual action on it.
Do buildings actually have a complete smoking ban even inside a residents unit? Only lived in one apartment building but I don't ever recall seeing an outright ban on smoking in most buildings

My mom's building requires all smokers to be on their patio, there is no smoking inside the units at all. She owns the suite, but would be fined something like $1500 if she was found to be breaking the strata rule.

I don't remember the exact number, I just remember it was really ridiculous.

Some buildings it's the opposite with the proximity to neighbors smoke inevitably ends up inside if you have your windows open.
