One of the last episodes i saw in a vancouver house it has sprinklers installed which is a new requirement, so the previous owners struck a deal with the city so they could move into the house to fix it but apparently just sold it and moved out leaving the unsuspecting owners the problem which turned out to be a huge one, i think it was $30,000 to deal with, they had to dig up the street apparently. Other episodes i've seen it happen twice now, the home owners had to install a new power pole at their cost.

Anyway I guess is Vancouver a hard place to build or renovate a house compared to most cities? some of the things that pop up leave the homeowners gobsmacked

What? You need sprinklers in a SFH now? Are there anymore costs Vision can pile on!
