Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

This facility’s inspection record is mixed, with repeated substantiated complaints for illegal eviction due to failure to provide written notices and improper eviction procedures, resulting in a $250 civil penalty in July 2025. The most recent inspection on March 25, 2026, found no residents or staff present as the facility was under construction, so no compliance review was possible. Earlier inspections showed unsubstantiated complaints about staff behavior and facility conditions, but deficiencies related to eviction and rate increase notices persisted through mid-2025.
