A Burnaby, B.C. condominium owner is suing her building’s developer after the ceiling of her unit collapsed in the bedroom above her head while she was sleeping, as well as in the kitchen and living room.

Carmela De Benedetto bought the Juneau Street property for $824,900 and took possession in late July of 2021. The ceiling came down just over a week later, on Aug. 1.

“I’m 66 years old. I don’t need this,” De Benedetto told Global News on Wednesday, her voice wavering. “I don’t sleep at nights.”

On the night of the collapse, De Benedetto said she heard “a big loud noise” and saw concrete dropping “all over the place” in her room. She was recovering from surgery at the time, she added.

De Benedetto said she wasn’t physically injured, but suffered a great deal of trauma. She moved into a hotel while the condo was repaired, but even after restoration, said she couldn’t move back due to the mental distress. She is still living in a hotel today. Grace Ke reports.
