Sample report — Pennsylvania

Rittenhouse Park at Philadelphia, PA

98-unit high-rise condominium, built 1989

Overall riskElevated

The resale certificate under § 3407 is complete with the 5-day rescission window preserved, but the PM-315 facade inspection is overdue and the master policy is missing the subrogation waiver Pennsylvania law requires. Reserves track contributions but no study has been commissioned.

Key findings

Pennsylvania-specific findings

Elevated

Philadelphia L&I Records + PM-315 Ordinance

PM-315 facade inspection overdue

What we found
Last PM-315 facade inspection on file is dated 2019. The 5-year cycle required Philadelphia residential buildings 6 stories or higher (or 60+ feet) to re-inspect by 2024. No 2024 report is on file with L&I. Board minutes show inspector outreach but no inspection scheduled.
Why it matters
Philadelphia PM-315 non-compliance can result in citations and required remediation. The longer the gap, the higher the probability that an overdue inspection will surface deferred items. For Philadelphia high-rise diligence the inspection report is essential.
What to ask
What's the board's timeline to complete the overdue inspection? Is there any L&I correspondence on file from the gap period?

Elevated

Master Policy Form + 68 Pa.C.S. § 3312(c)(2)

Master policy missing subrogation waiver language

What we found
Master policy declarations include the statutory framework reference but the actual policy form does not contain the waiver-of-subrogation endorsement. 68 Pa.C.S. § 3312(c)(2) requires the waiver in the policy itself.
Why it matters
Pennsylvania case law (E.D. Pa.) has held that if the waiver is missing from the actual policy language, the insurer may pursue at-fault owners after a covered loss. The statutory reference is not a substitute for the endorsement.
What to ask
Will the board request the waiver endorsement be added at the next renewal — or sooner if the carrier will issue an endorsement mid-term?

Moderate

Operating Budget, line 24 + Reserve Schedule

No reserve study; balance tracks contribution baseline

What we found
Reserve balance $448,000 with $96,000/year contribution. No reserve study has been commissioned in the past 10 years. Balance grew from $312,000 in 2021 — contributions are funding the balance but not against a documented capital schedule.
Why it matters
Neither the Uniform Condominium Act nor the Uniform Planned Community Act requires a reserve study. Without one, the balance can't be evaluated against actual capital exposure — elevators, curtainwall, mechanical, and PM-315 work all have concentrated, expensive cycles.
What to ask
Will the board commission a reserve study before the next major capital cycle? What's the relationship between the current balance and PM-315 remediation scope?

Low

Resale Certificate + 68 Pa.C.S. § 3407

§ 3407 resale certificate complete; 5-day rescission preserved

What we found
Certificate covers governing documents, current budget, financial statements, reserves, planned capital projects for the next 2 years, pending litigation, insurance summary, and known violations. Delivered 3 days before scheduled closing. Buyer's 5-day rescission window remains open.
Why it matters
Pennsylvania's 5-day rescission is one of the more useful statutory protections. The PM-315 and subrogation findings above are exactly the kind of items the rescission window exists for.
What to ask
Use the rescission window for the PM-315 status and subrogation waiver questions if the board can't answer before closing.
