DPOR Director Writes Miyares’ Office to Inform the AG of Construction Fraud. What happened? Nothing.
Dated May 22, 2024 Pages 1-4 of the redacted memo.
From: Brian Wolford, Chief Deputy Director, DPOR
Subject: Possible Legal Loophole playing out in Prince William County
Summary: This internal state memo escalates a systemic regulatory failure to AG Jason Miyares. It outlines a pattern of misconduct by a Prince William County builder operating an unlicensed owner-developer scheme that has left families with millions of dollars in damages dating back to 2014. The memo explicitly details DPOR’s structural inability to pursue enforcement actions due to statutory limitations under § 54.1-1100, noting that local Commonwealth's Attorneys consistently decline to prosecute these entities for unlicensed activity.
