Can condo association board of directors selectively enforce rules?

I have lived in a four building 48-unit condominium for the past 9 yrs. The board of directors and property management seem to enforce the rules to select owners; BOD did a walk around sent violation letters to 24 owners or 2 buildings. I was told I have to remove my satellite dish by a certain date or they would have it removed and charge me for it. I responded a couple times explaining the previous board allowed satellite dish as long as it was not installed on the roof of the building. The management & BOD could find this in the meeting notes about 4 years ago. Then I was told different unit owner showed a letter of approval so they were allowed to keep their dish. I have been searching the past 9 years of personal papers and found my letter but they have already removed the dish. My question is am I responsible to pay the invoice they sent to me. Also would like to know if the BOD & management can selectively enforce rules? Judi
