Ontario's Home Construction Regulatory Authority has refused to grant a building licence to Dynasty Home Builders due to its clear ties with Albion Building Consultant, which had its licence revoked last year.The principals of a besmirched Toronto homebuilder have tried, and failed, to pull a fast one on the Home Construction Regulatory Authority .that it has refused to grant a building licence to Dynasty Home Builders Inc. due to its clear ties with Albion Building Consultant Inc.

Damningly, Hossain and Haque were also the principals of Albion, and as such, the HCRA has determined that “Dynasty was a ploy for Albion to stay in business using another name.”in February 2023 as a result of what the HCRA describes as a "history of non-compliance with provincial rules and laws.” This included failure to enrol 11 new homes with the Tarion warranty program and failure to pay a $206,250 fine due to the Ontario Court of Justice as a result.

Albion was directed by the HCRA to complete homes that were already under construction — “to protect the interests of existing home buyers” — and the company's building licence was revoked thereafter. “The HCRA looks at all interested persons associated with an application for this exact reason,” Chief Executive Officer and Registrar for the HCRA, Wendy Moir, said on Wednesday. “Understanding who is involved in an applicant’s business is a strong indicator of how that business may be run. By refusing Dynasty’s application, the HCRA is limiting the resurgence of bad actors who have demonstrated they cannot conduct their business responsibly and ethically.
