To establish uniform expectations of the Borrower when a Property receives a PCR of 3, 4, or 5, new template Inspection Letters are available. You may use these new forms following any inspection, however you must use the 2 new Inspection Letter forms for all Properties that receive a PCR of 3, 4, or 5.
