A quick review of PA's landlord-tenant laws (found through the Landlord Tenant Laws link in the right column of this page) says that the landlord may be fined TWICE (not three times) the security deposit if the Security Deposit Settlement Statement and refund (if any) are not mailed within 30 days.

If you want to succeed as a landlord, you need to know these laws inside and out, and then follow them. You left yourself vulnerable by not sending the SDSS, and again by not knowing the penalties for failing to do so.

I don't have properties in PA, but just from reading the law, it seems like your tenants would be awarded twice the deposit in court.
