Yes! If you contracted to have work done on your house/home, and it was completed to your satisfaction, then the roofer can attach what is called a mechanic's lien to your house. I believe that you had to have had a period of time to pay. If you did not pay as promised for the work done, the the roofer does not have to serve notice. You are deemed to have known this to be an action that the roofer could take when you eneterd into the contractual agreement to have your roof done. Ignorance of the law is not deemed an appropriate defence of the same.
A lien is a security interest in the property. A lien might arise from a loan. If you buy a car with the bank's money the bank will put a lien on the car. If you don't pay the bank back, it can foreclose on its lien and take the car from you. If you have a roofer add a new roof to your house, and you don't pay him, the laws allow the roofer to put a lien on your house. The roofer now has a stake in the house. If you don't pay off the lien your house can be forcibly put up for sale in order to satisfy the lien. I believe "property and tenets" translates into modern speak as "property and belongings".

This could be an uncommon first action for an association. Unless it is written in your governing documents that this inspection is part of a lien action, you may have a right to deny this request. You can request an official notice from the association requiring specifics of why a right to enter/ inspect is being requested, if indeed, it is based on the issue related to the lien. Read your governing documents to determine how you must be notified and how far in advance you must receive the notice in order to give mandatory entry to the association's representative. As well, collect the notices you've received from the association relative to the subject of the lien, to determine your status relative to the lien.

Levy is by a county or municipality for taxes owed. A lien is for money owed on a home or money borrowed against the home. If you owe back taxes, then IRS or State taxing authorities may file a notice of lien and a notice of levy, but they are totally different.
