Why It’s Flagged
68 Pa.C.S. § 5302(a)(11) (UPCA)
Under 68 Pa.C.S. § 5302(a)(11) (UPCA), a Pennsylvania unit owners' association has the statutory power to levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations of the association only "after notice and an opportunity to be heard." Provisions authorizing automatic, summary, or unilateral fines without prior notice and a hearing opportunity conflict with mandatory Pennsylvania statutory due process.
