Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The facility’s inspection record is mixed, with repeated deficiencies related to water heating system failures and failure to report these issues, resulting in civil penalties and citations in 2025. The most recent inspection on December 16, 2025, found no deficiencies and substantiated complaints were limited to prior water heater problems, while other complaints about heating, air conditioning, and facility disrepair were unsubstantiated. Earlier annual inspections in 2024 and early 2025 showed no deficiencies, but by mid-2025, water temperature and documentation issues emerged and persisted despite repairs.
