The PA Uniform Planned Community Act (68 Pa.C.S. Ch. 51) governs HOA board procedures for communities created after 1997. Board meetings must be open to members with notice; minutes kept and available for owner inspection.
Board governance for HOAs in McKeesport is controlled primarily by the PA Uniform Planned Community Act (68 Pa.C.S. Ch. 51) for communities established after February 2, 1997, or the PA Uniform Condominium Act (68 Pa.C.S. Ch. 31) for condos. Key provisions: §5308 requires regular board meetings to be open to all unit owners except when discussing personnel, pending litigation, or contracts under negotiation (executive session). Notice of meetings must be given per the bylaws, typically 48 hours to 10 days. §5316 requires maintenance of financial records, meeting minutes, membership list, and association agreements and makes them available for inspection by owners on reasonable notice. §5310 requires annual meetings with elections. §5303 allows owners representing at least 20% of votes to call special meetings. The PA Nonprofit Corporation Law (15 Pa.C.S.) also applies to many HOAs. McKeesport does not regulate HOA governance.
Violations of the UPCA are enforced through civil actions by owners or the PA Bureau of Corporations. Remedies include injunctions to open meetings, produce records, and hold valid elections. Attorney fees available under §5412. No criminal penalties.
