    paragraph_quote: 'q. Property Maintenance (04/29/2024) i. Standard Upon becoming
      aware of a deterioration in the Property’s condition, the Mortgagee must notify
      the Borrower of the deficiency and provide the Borrower 60 Days to begin to
      correct the condition of the Property. The Mortgagee must continue to monitor
      the Property’s condition until repairs are completed. If the Borrower fails
      to begin to correct the condition of the Property within 60 Days or if the Borrower
      fails to make satisfactory progress toward repairing the Property, the Mortgagee
      must proceed in accordance with Due and Payable guidance. ii. Required Documentation

      deterioration of property condition; • notices to the Borrower to correct property
      condition deficiencies; and • property inspections and photos conducted in addressing
      the deteriorated Property.'
