A developer with another pending case at HLURB faces what risk regarding their license?

When a developer has a pending case at the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), one significant risk they face is the possible suspension of their license. This is because having an unresolved issue or violation can reflect poorly on the developer’s adherence to regulations and standards expected in subdivision development. Such cases often involve complaints or allegations related to non-compliance, which can trigger regulatory actions.

The HLURB has the authority to investigate any pending cases and, depending on the severity of the issue, they may impose sanctions that could include the suspension of the developer’s license. This serves as a regulatory precaution to ensure that developers maintain ethical practices and adhere to legal requirements, protecting the interests of consumers and the integrity of the housing market.

The other options, while they may seem relevant in certain contexts, do not encapsulate the primary risk that a developer faces when a case is pending. Increased inspection frequency may occur, but it is not the direct consequence of pending cases. Similarly, while financial penalties could arise from some violations, the immediate risk tied to a pending case is more likely to lead to suspension rather than just financial consequences or a lack of impact on the license.
