    paragraph_quote: 11. New Construction Inspections/Warranty For new construction
      properties, either 11a or 11b must be required based on whether or not local
      building inspections are performed. Since new construction must have either
      a 1 year or a 10-year warranty, either 11c or 11d must be marked.
