I have a one-off situation with a VA inspection. House is built in 1989 and is in C3- condition. One of the "updates" included installing vintage single hung wood windows in an opening between two interior rooms. The issue I have is there is peeling paint on the windows which are obviously pre 1978.
I realize that any defective paint is an MPR, but would you require that the repair be to the same level as the lead-based paint standard? "If the house was built prior to 1978, assume the paint is lead-based and require corrective action to include thoroughly cleaning the surface before applying two coats of paint or completely removing the paint or covering the surface with a suitable material before painting"
