32 | Due to licensee Mayra Rodriguez allowing children access to an off-limit area is a repeat violation because the facility was cited for the same violation within 12 months. Today, an immediate civil penalty of $250 will be assessed.
The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 3, are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
LPA Hood informed licensee Mayra Rodriguez that this report dated 03/08/2022 documents one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is/are immediate risk(s) to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.
