What Pittsburgh HOA Boards Should Know
Beyond Pennsylvania statutes, Pittsburgh associations must follow local ordinances covering property maintenance, sidewalks, trees, and construction projects.
Property Maintenance Requirements
Pittsburgh has adopted the International Property Maintenance Code with local amendments. The city uses these standards to regulate the condition of existing buildings and properties.
For your board: regularly inspect association-maintained areas for hazards and maintenance problems and address small issues early.
Sidewalk Maintenance
Property owners must keep sidewalks adjacent to their properties in proper condition. This responsibility remains even when a city-owned tree causes damage. When tree roots cause sidewalk damage, the owner must contact the Forestry Division before beginning repairs. A sidewalk repair permit may also be required.
For your board: identify which sidewalks fall under association maintenance responsibilities and coordinate with the city before repairing areas affected by city-owned trees.
City Tree Requirements
Residents and property owners can’t simply plant, remove, or prune a city-owned tree without following Forestry Division requirements. A tree work permit may be required in some situations. Work must also be supervised by an ISA Certified Arborist.
For your board: check tree ownership before scheduling pruning or removal near streets and other public areas and obtain city approval when necessary.
Land Operations Permits
A commercial land operations permit may be required for certain grading, paving, vegetation removal, and other site work. A permit can be required when vegetation, trees, or ground cover removal exceeds 10,000 square feet. Removal on slopes exceeding 25% can also trigger the requirement.
For your board: review permit requirements when planning large landscaping, drainage, paving, or grading projects.
