 Interviews also revealed that one of the ceiling tiles did have water staining during this time and is also waiting to be assessed. According to the Director, the area had been cleared and assessed by building management but repairs are not completed as of yet, facility will be in contact with CCLD once the repairs are completed by the property management.

Therefore, due to conflicting information found throughout this investigation this agency has investigated the complaint alleging: the classroom has mildew odor and classroom ceiling is leaking water . Although the allegation may have happened, or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted with the Director, Alice Escobedo, A copy of this report wad discussed and provided to the director.

A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS GIVEN. DIRECTOR WAS INSTRUCTED TO POSTED IT IN A PROMINENT LOCATION AT THE FACILITY. THE DIRECTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT IT MUST REMAIN POSTED FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS.
