i've also heard of contractor buddies having headaches with the homeowner's association; something about a resident complaining that the construction was "dangerous" -- e nagkataong malakas ung boses ng homeowner, nagkaroon tuloy ng issue where there really wasn't any. dunno what happened to that project.
Yep, mayron. Usually, mayron binabayaran yan na monthly association dues. Yunhg iba yearly. In some big subivisions, kasama na sa dues yung bayad sa security.

Yung sa "what structure you can build", depende yan sa agreement ng developer at ng homeowners association AFAIK. Kung nabili na ang lahat ng lote sa subdivision, depende na yan sa by-wals ng homeowners association. For example, may mga subdivisions na ang homeowners eh ayaw na may magtatayo ng apartment complex.

Mayron naman kasing ibang homeowners na masyadong maaarte - short of namimili na kung sino ang dapat tumira sa subdivision nila at hindi dapat. I know somebody who was not allowed to purchase a lot on a certain subdivision because she is a Japayuki. The reason: immoral daw yung kakilala ko hence baka matukso daw yung mga male populace dun, he he he.
