24 C.F.R. § 200.1500
§ 200.1500 Sanctions against a MAP lender. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
(a) In addition to any other legal remedy available to HUD, HUD may take the following actions with respect to a MAP lender: (1) Warning letter; (2) Probation; (3) Suspension; (4) Termination; (5) Limited Denial of Participation (LDP); (6) Referral to the Mortgagee Review Board; and (7) Referral to the Office of Inspector General. (b) The actions listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this section are carried out in accordance with the requirements of this subpart. An LDP is a sanction applied in accordance with subpart J of 2 CFR part 2424 to participants in loan transactions other than FHA-insured lenders. The Mortgagee Review Board procedures are found at 24 CFR part 25.
Under 24 CFR Part 200 § 200.1500, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has the authority to impose a range of disciplinary actions against lenders participating in the Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) program. These sanctions run a spectrum from a formal warning letter up to full termination of MAP lender status, and may also include referral to oversight bodies such as the Mortgagee Review Board or the Office of Inspector General. Each type of sanction follows its own procedural framework — warning letters through termination are governed within this subpart, Limited Denials of Participation follow 2 CFR part 2424, and Mortgagee Review Board proceedings are governed by 24 CFR part 25.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who work with MAP lenders on FHA-insured multifamily financing should be aware that under § 200.1500, HUD retains broad authority to discipline those lenders at any stage of a transaction. A compliant operator generally monitors the standing of any MAP lender they engage, since a lender's suspension, termination, or referral to the Mortgagee Review Board can affect the progress or viability of a pending loan. Staying informed about a lender's current status with HUD helps operators anticipate potential disruptions to financing timelines.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
While § 200.1500 primarily governs HUD's relationship with MAP lenders rather than individual tenants, the sanctions it authorizes — including suspension, termination, and referral to the Office of Inspector General — are part of the oversight framework that helps protect the integrity of federally backed multifamily housing. Tenants living in properties financed through MAP-processed FHA loans may have an interest in understanding that HUD has enforcement tools available when lender misconduct is identified. Tenants who believe a lender's conduct has affected their housing situation may find it useful to contact HUD directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about available complaint pathways.
