32 | The investigation revealed the following:
ALLEGATION #2: Fire Clearance
It is alleged that the facility does not maintain a fire clearance approved by the appropriate fire authority.
The department conducted a tour of the physical plant and learned the facility had an annual visit from LAFD on 8/21/2025 and was issued several violations. The facility failed to comply with the violations issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). However, its fire clearance was neither revoked nor denied. The facility was placed on Fire Watch, requiring hourly patrols to identify hazards, detect fires early, alert occupants, and contact emergency services. This measure was implemented by LAFD while violations were being corrected.
The Fire Watch concluded on 3/30/26, and all Fire Watch requirements were verified as corrected by LAFD.
Based on the investigation, although the allegation may have occurred or may be valid, there is insufficient evidence to establish a preponderance of evidence. Therefore, the allegation is **UNSUBSTANTIATED**
ALLEGATION #3: Alterations to Physical Plant
It is alleged that the facility has added partitions, locks, or gates to separate spaces for other entities on the premises.
On 1/9/26, the Department toured the facility, reviewed the facility sketch, and compared it to the pre-licensing report dated April 24, 2024 . staff (#1 and #2) were interviewed and provided consistent statements indicating that no structural changes such as additional walls, doors, or locks had been made since the original 2023 facility sketch.
Based on observations, document review, and staff interviews, the Department did not identify any alterations to the physical plant.
Based on the investigation, although the allegation may have occurred or may be valid, there is insufficient evidence to establish a preponderance of evidence. Therefore, the allegation is **UNSUBSTANTIATED**.
