Read Full SummaryRead less
- Recent 3 years — All 4 lifetime Type A citations and 6 of 9 Type B (administrative) citations occurred in the past three years, meaning the concerning findings are concentrated recently rather than spread evenly across the 14-year license.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (11 lifetime, 7 in the past three years) far outnumber routine inspections (3 lifetime), and 10 of the 11 substantiated allegations were confirmed within that same recent window.
- Severity — Of the 26 substantiated, unsubstantiated, and unfounded allegations investigated, roughly 41% were substantiated, indicating a meaningful share of complaints were confirmed rather than dismissed.
- Operating tenure — 14 years of continuous licensing gives a long track record, but that history does not offset the recent clustering of findings — the last routine inspection and several complaint visits occurred within the last two years, including as recently as March 2026.
- 1.Can you walk through what led to each of the 4 Type A citations and what corrective actions were verified by the state afterward?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the recent complaint investigations, and what changes have been made since?
- 3.Given the high volume of complaint investigations relative to routine inspections, what steps has the community taken to reduce complaints going forward?
