There can be cases where buildings with poor earthquake resistance develop cracks.

Literal

Earthquake-resistance [genitive-の] bad buildings [in-に] cracks [subject-が] arise [thing-that-happens-こともある].

A technical-flavored observation. ~ことがある attached to a dictionary-form verb expresses 'there are cases where X,' 'sometimes X happens,' 'it can happen that X.' Distinguish from the past-form ~たことがある ('have experienced X'). 耐震性 ('earthquake resistance') is a Sino-Japanese compound — 耐 (endure) + 震 (shake) + 性 (property/nature) — specialized construction/seismology vocabulary. 亀裂 (きれつ) is 'crack, fissure' — a literary/technical term more specific than ひび. 生じる ('to arise, come into being, occur') is the intransitive formal verb for things coming into existence — symptoms, cracks, problems.
