When the building record has no year, no developer and no residence count, judging the building from project documents isn't possible. What's left is a viewing and the owners' association paperwork.
The order is: meeting minutes from recent years (what's been repaired and what's coming), the reserve fund's size, the service charge rate in AED per square foot, and the condition of the common areas.
That's more reliable than a building record in any case, and for a building with no data, it's the only way.
