Claim: HCRA does not publish a single consolidated count of "illegal builders prosecuted since 2021." Press releases and the OBD's Regulatory Activities tab record individual matters. STOREYS reported in September 2024 that HCRA had "reprimanded around a dozen builders" via revocations, freeze orders, and charges, with Albion the only repeat name.

Confidence: Single-source.

For Candid use: When writing or speaking about "HCRA enforcement record," resist the urge to invent a number. The accurate framing is: the enforcement record is substantial and growing (citing Albion + Adi + GC King Bond + Stateview + Pinetree + Sunrise + Briarwood by name), without claiming an aggregate count.
