TORONTO — The Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) has convicted an unlicensed builder and his company for alleged illegal building practices and failing to enrol new homes in the province’s warranty plan.
and were fined $75,000 for building without a licence and for failing to enrol the homes in the warranty plan. Lischkoff was also ordered to pay $130,000 in restitution to an impacted homebuyer.
The convictions stem from complaints related to two projects in Grey County, where Lischkoff attempted to sidestep legal obligations that he was fully aware of, the HCRA claims.
To avoid licensing and warranty requirements, he falsely claimed to be a “construction manager.”
However, the HCRA’s investigation revealed “he exercised full control over the work and supplied all building materials — actions that legally define a builder under the New Home Construction Licensing Act, 2017.”
The HCRA encourages anyone purchasing a new home to verify their builder is licensed by the authority by consulting the before making any financial commitments.
