Facility Evaluation Report

On 02/19/2026 at 10:30 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Julie Florio arrived unannounced at

facility to conduct a required annual visit. LPA observed a newer white metal fence in place and a

vacant lot with only the foundation remaining. LPA spoke with Licensee, Be April Importante, who

lives out of the area and was unable to come to the facility site today.

The licensed facility was destroyed by fire due to the actions of a client on January 26, 2017. At this

time no structure exists at this facility location. LPA spoke with licensee to confirm the plan to rebuild

the facility. Licensee will notify the Department when construction begins so that LPA can request a

new fire clearance and conduct an inspection of the buildings and grounds prior to the repopulation

of residents. Licensee agrees to notify the Department should the Licensee decide to change

locations or not to reopen. Licensee previously reported that they bought the adjacent lot to

accommodate the new facility, but is having a having a tough time with architects and the engineer.

During today's conversation, Licensee stated that the architect is working on the plans and Licensee

hope to be able to submit them to the city for approval soon. Licensee states they still plan to rebuild

and reopen. LPA confirmed contact information for Licensee. LPA will email this report to Licensee

who agreed to sign and send it back to the Department.
