(-continued in LIC 9099 C-) ***This licensing report issued on today visit, 07/28/23 will supersede licensing report dated 04/29/23. The finding will remain the same. *** Upon R1’s departure from the facility in April 2021, the Los Angeles Sherriff’s Department posted an order of Receipt of Real Property on R1’s resident room door. Based on evidence gathered, LPA did not find sufficient evidence to support the above-mentioned allegation. The 30-Day eviction issued to R1 on 10/20/21 was lawful, the facility did not evict R1 from the facility unlawfully and pursued an unlawful detainer against R1. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted with Imelda Villanueva. and a copy of the Licensing Report was provided during visit.
