Your condo's status certificate is 100+ pages that can hide a reserve shortfall headed for a special assessment. CondoVitals reads it in minutes and shows you the financial red flags in plain English — so your lawyer meeting is ten minutes and sharp.
In Ontario the corporation must deliver the status certificate within 10 days and can charge at most $100. You usually have a 5–10 day window to review it. That's exactly enough time for CondoVitals.
Drop in the full status-certificate package — cover form, budget, reserve-fund study notice, insurance. We read the pages you'd never get through in time. Express consent first; your files are deleted after analysis.
Our engine extracts the numbers that matter and scores them against a transparent red-flag rubric built on the Condominium Act's s.76 form.
A plain-English findings summary — what the certificate discloses, each flag tied to its exact paragraph and a question to ask your lawyer. No verdict, no false all-clear; you walk in informed, not guessing.
A lawyer's review checks the legal boxes — liens, litigation, completeness. But reserve-fund adequacy is, in the profession's own words, "a question left for engineers." That financial read is the gap CondoVitals fills.
Balance vs. what the study says is needed, contribution shortfalls, and a per-unit shortfall estimate — when the study genuinely discloses a target.
para 13, 15Recent, pending, or anticipated levies — the single strongest predictor that another one is coming.
para 11, 12, 17Court, arbitration or tribunal proceedings and outstanding judgments — especially envelope/defect suits.
para 18, 19Budget deficits and mid-year common-expense increases that signal financial strain.
para 9, 10Sky-high water/property deductibles that a single claim could turn into a levy.

A pre-digested certificate makes your review faster and your file cleaner. We hand the decision back to you, never around you.
Your lawyer checks the legal boxes — liens, arrears, litigation, whether the certificate is complete. But under Ontario law "adequacy" of the reserve fund is undefined and, as a national law firm puts it, "usually a question left for engineers." A CPA firm already sells this exact financial review to lawyers. CondoVitals does that financial read fast and cheap, so your lawyer's legal review lands on a certificate you already understand. We complement your lawyer — we never replace one.
No. CondoVitals reports what your certificate discloses and flags questions to raise — it never tells you your rights, whether to sign, or what the law requires of you. Every important flag ends with "confirm with your lawyer." That keeps you the decision-maker and keeps us firmly on the right side of the law.
Yes — and we'll be upfront about it. Automated condo-document scanners exist (some from ~$20), mostly built as generalist pan-Canada engines. CondoVitals is built Ontario-first: we parse the s.76 prescribed form and its attachments, score against Ontario-specific flags, and offer a human-verified tier. We'd rather earn you with accuracy and honesty than pretend we're the only option.
The scoring engine is deterministic and every flag cites the exact paragraph it came from, so you can check our work. But we deliberately never give a green "all-clear." A status certificate can't surface undisclosed problems, and it usually doesn't attach the full reserve study — so we flag when adequacy can't be confirmed and tell you to order the study. Automated reading of messy PDFs can miss things (especially free-text fields like insurance deductibles); we mark low-confidence fields and route them to a human. We never claim to catch everything. Always confirm anything important with your lawyer.
Your certificate contains sensitive information, so we treat it that way: express consent before upload, encryption, and process-and-purge — we delete uploads after analysis and never train models on your documents without separate consent. (PIPEDA-aligned.)
