    paragraph_quote: 9. Repairs The repairs recommended on the appraisal should be
      reviewed and only those which are needed for the property to meet VA MPRs should
      be listed on the NOV. Any apparent defective conditions observed by the appraiser
      must be addressed by requiring correction, rather than an inspection. The completion
      of any repairs that could involve lead-based paint must be certified by the
      fee appraiser.
  judgment: false
