On 9/16/2025 corresponded via email with CW. During today's visit at 1:55 p.m. LPA and Administrator briefly toured the physical plant areas inside and outside to ensure there are no immediate health and safety hazards, and facility is in compliance with Title 22 Regulations. On the allegation Alterations made to the facility without permits, it is the concern of the Reporting Party (RP) that the facility has undergone major interior changes, including reconfigured bedrooms, added bathrooms, and electrical upgrades without proper permits. To investigate this complaint, LPA conducted an in person interview, telephonic interviews, corresponded via email, and obtained copies of pertinent documentation relevant to the investigation. Interview with Licensee Representative revealed that they are unfamiliar with any specific alterations made to the home. Construction was completed shortly after the home was purchased in March of 2024. They have no knowledge in regard to permits. Interviews with the CW revealed that the property is officially recorded as 5 bedrooms with 3.5 bathrooms. However, the following un-permitted structural and interior modifications have been made including the living room, originally sunken, and has been leveled to match the rest of the house. Bedroom #6 incorporating a portion of the former laundry room and an existing bathroom that was previously accessed through the laundry area. Walls and plumbing were removed and reconfigured to create a new bathroom within the bedroom. The kitchen was remodeled, reconfigured, and expanded using part of the laundry room. The stove and hood were relocated. A new door was added from the dining room into the garage. Bedrooms 2, 3, and 5 have had their windows replaced with doors. Bedroom 4 had its window converted to a door, and the interior door was relocated. Originally, Bedrooms 4 and 5 were a single open space separated by a folding partition; a permanent wall has been erected to create two rooms. Bedroom #6, which was the original master suite, included a walk-in closet and a large bathroom. The walk-in closet has been converted into a hallway-accessible bathroom, while the original bathroom has been downsized and reconfigured. The original full and half bathrooms have been modified, with the full bathroom now featuring only a walk-in shower. Additionally, the property has also undergone a complete electrical system upgrade. Report continued on LIC 9099-C PAGE 3... (PAGE 3) Report continued from LIC 9099-C PAGE 2...
