Verbatim regulatory text
Verbatim provisions from FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part II — each quote is a verified substring of the regulator-published source snapshot, not retyped. Quoted for reference; this is not legal advice. The operational layer (P&P updates, prompts) lives in the regulation update kits.
FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part II — i. Defective Paint (04/10/2025)
i. Defective Paint (04/10/2025) If the dwelling or related improvements were built before 1978, refer to Lead-Based Paint. If the dwelling or related improvements were built in or after 1978, the Appraiser must report all defective paint surfaces on the exterior and require repair of any defective paint that exposes the subsurface to the elements. Unpainted surfaces intended to withstand the elements, such as stained or pressure-treated wood, do not require repair.
Operationalizing FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part II
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
