Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Vincent Moleski and Holly Williams arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit. LPAs Moleski and Williams spoke with licensee Diana Garcia over the phone and explained the purpose of the visit. During a prior visit, LPAs Moleski and Williams observed two backyard sheds, which have not been permitted for habitation and which have not been cleared by the fire department. During the visit, one of the sheds had an air conditioning unit running, but the windows were blocked. LPAs Moleski and Williams observed through the windows of the second shed personal affects, including food and medications, along with a pet cat. LPAs Moleski and Williams knocked on both sheds but received no answer. In an interview, Garcia said she and her mother had used and were still using the sheds for habitation on occasion. During this visit, LPAs Moleski and Williams observed a sewer outflow pipe which had spewed out toilet paper and feces at some previous time. The toilet paper and feces were dried up and caked onto the cement patio. A staff member (S1) said that the toilet paper and feces had been there for at least two weeks. This facility is being cited per 22 CCR Sections 87303(a) and 87204(a). An exit interview was held with Garcia. Appeal rights and a copy of this report were left with staff member Mareta Teku.
