12/15/2024 and conducted by Evaluator Christopher Arnhold

COMPLAINT CONTROL NUMBER: 21-AS-20241215224841

Staff do not ensure the smoke alarms are properly functioning

Staff allows inappropriate locking devices

At approximately 10:15AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Arnhold arrived at this facility unannounced, to open an investigation into the above allegations. LPA met with House Manager Rowena Radana and toured the building. LPA tested all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the building and found all to be in working condition. Although the batteries in the detectors did not appear to have been changed recently, they could have been replaced recently to put them into a working condition.

LPA observed disabled slide locks on the inside portion of a client bathroom door. The slide locks did not have the slide portion that would enable them to be locked. The locks were located near the door handle and appeared to have been used as a privacy lock while the restroom was in use. LPA observed dead bolt locks that were installed in the correct orientation, of a few doors, but were not operational. The locking bolt was missing making the locks useless. LPA did not observe any other possible inappropriate locking devices.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are Unsubstantiated.
