The most recent inspection on July 17, 2025, found one deficiency related to the absence of metal ducts attached to two dryers in the laundry room, with license renewal recommended pending corrective action and fire services approval. Earlier inspections in August 2023 and August 2020 showed the facility in substantial compliance with licensing rules and no deficiencies. The main issue noted involved physical plant requirements, specifically fire safety equipment in the laundry area. No complaint investigations were reported in the available records. The inspection history suggests generally consistent compliance with a minor physical plant issue identified most recently.
