24 C.F.R. § 200.1515
§ 200.1515 Suspension of MAP privileges. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
(a) In general. Only the MAP Lender Review Board may suspend a lender's eligibility for MAP, in accordance with the procedures of § 200.1535. (b) Effect of suspension. (1) A suspension may impose any conditions that may be imposed by probation. (2) During the suspension period a MAP lender: (i) Shall be removed from the MAP-approved lender list posted on HUD's Web site; (ii) May not submit, and the HUD field office may not accept, materials after the close of business of the date of the suspension letter for a new application for multifamily mortgage insurance from HUD; and (iii) May continue to process any existing application for multifamily mortgage insurance submitted to a Multifamily Hub or Program Center before the date of the suspension letter. (3) The MAP Lender Review Board may impose a higher level of review of the lender's underwriting by HUD; (4) Suspension is nationwide in effect. (c) Duration of suspension. (1) Suspension may not exceed 12 months, except where conditions are imposed. If both a time period and conditions are imposed, a suspension shall terminate only when: (i) The time period of the suspension has expired; (ii) The MAP lender has submitted a certification of compliance with those conditions to the Board; and (iii) The Board has notified the MAP lender it has received the certification of compliance and is satisfied that the corrective actions have occurred. (2) When suspension is lifted, the lender's name shall be promptly reinstated on the MAP-Approved Lender list posted on HUD's Web site.
Under 24 CFR Part 200 § 200.1515, only the MAP Lender Review Board has authority to suspend a lender's eligibility to participate in the Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) program. A suspended lender is removed from HUD's publicly posted approved-lender list, cannot submit new multifamily mortgage insurance applications, and faces nationwide restrictions — though it may continue processing applications already submitted before the suspension date. Suspensions generally cannot exceed 12 months, but when conditions are attached, the suspension remains in effect until the time period expires, the lender certifies compliance, and the Board confirms that corrective actions have been completed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers seeking MAP-backed financing should be aware that § 200.1515 governs how a lender's MAP privileges can be suspended, which directly affects whether a chosen lender can process new multifamily mortgage insurance applications. Operators working with a MAP lender typically verify that their lender remains on HUD's MAP-Approved Lender list before submitting application materials, since a suspension removes the lender from that list nationwide. If a lender is suspended mid-process, applications already submitted to a Multifamily Hub or Program Center before the suspension date may still be processed, so maintaining clear records of submission dates is a practice consistent with smooth project continuity.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
While § 200.1515 primarily governs lender eligibility rather than tenant rights directly, tenants living in or seeking housing in HUD-insured multifamily properties may be affected when a lender's MAP privileges are suspended, potentially influencing the financing and development of those properties. Tenants who believe a housing project's financing status is affecting their housing conditions or rights can inquire with their local HUD Multifamily Hub or Program Center about the status of relevant lenders and applications. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's public MAP-Approved Lender list — which § 200.1515 requires to be updated upon suspension and reinstatement — can serve as starting points for understanding whether a lender involved in a property's financing is in good standing.
