Under Pennsylvania's Uniform Planned Community Act, § 5308 requires at least one association meeting a year with 10-60 days' agenda notice (the Act does not impose a general open-meeting mandate). Section 5303 governs board elections and the handover from declarant control, and § 5316 makes association records reasonably available to owners.
Section 5308 requires bylaws to provide for association meetings "at least once each year," with notice sent "not less than ten nor more than 60 days in advance," stating the time, place, and agenda. Notably, Chapter 53 contains no broad statutory "open meeting" right to attend executive-board sessions, so attendance rights largely depend on the bylaws. Section 5303 requires that, no later than the end of declarant control, unit owners elect a board of at least three members, a majority of whom are owners, with earlier owner-elected seats at 25% and 50% conveyance and removal by two-thirds vote. Section 5316 makes "all financial and other records ... reasonably available for examination by any unit owner," with annual financials furnished within 30 days of a written request.
No specific statutory penalty. Owners enforce these rights through the governing documents and civil action; a records or financial-statement failure under § 5316 may also be reported to the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Office of Attorney General.
