Pennsylvania's 68 Pa.C.S. § 5302 lets a unit owners' association adopt and amend rules and regulate the use, maintenance, and modification of common elements. It enforces the declaration, bylaws, and rules through reasonable fines and suspensions after notice and a hearing. Architectural control flows from the recorded declaration combined with these powers.
Section 5302(a) authorizes the association to "adopt and amend bylaws and rules and regulations" and to "regulate the use, maintenance, repair, replacement and modification of common elements." Its enforcement tools are the reasonable fines and rights-suspensions in § 5302(a)(11), available only "after notice and an opportunity to be heard," plus the power to institute litigation in the association's own name under § 5302(a)(4). Architectural-control and design-review authority is not a stand-alone statute; it typically arises from the recorded declaration's covenants combined with the association's rule-making and use-regulation powers. Costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred enforcing the declaration, bylaws, or rules against an owner are, under § 5315, "enforceable as assessments" through the lien process.
Reasonable fines and suspension of voting, board service, and common-element access after notice and a hearing (§ 5302(a)(11)). Continued noncompliance can result in litigation in the association's name and assessment liens enforceable by foreclosure under § 5315.
