Hi, i am resident on gallery phase 1, i had a concern on the outside wall of my balcony, should they seal this? Or this is totally fine? Please help me. Thank you 

[Rocco]

They should seal this asap. Can't believe they do such bad work on expensive condos like that. Imagine the snow getting in and melting inside the wall..

L'édifice devrait, de toute manière, subir une inspection pour identifier toutes les déficiences après la livraison. Je suggère de contacter le syndicat ou le gestionnaire et s'assurer que tous doutes ou craintes soient analysés par l'inspecteur.

No they should not seal this. 

The code requires a (minimum) 1" air space behind a masonry wall. If water and/or snow gets in the crack, it should drain out through the weep holes at the bottom of the wall. 

At most you could ask them to install a "moustiquaire" or some kind of aluminium moulding that hides the opening but does not seal it completely.

1" airspace behind a masonry wall does not mean the inside wall should be exposed to weather elements. The airspace is behind the wall not a wide crack open between 2 sides. This is seriously bad construction finishing.

Lol it's not the inside wall that is exposed to weather elements....

Il y a une pare-air / pare- vapeur, panneau de gypse extérieur (tel que DensGlass) etc. 

La seule chose qui manque c'est une petite moulure pour cacher la misère... pas un scellant de haut en bas. 

Rigueur, rigueur, rigueur...
