How citations are categorized

Two severity types under Title 22

Type A

Serious risk to health, safety, or rights

Type A violations pose immediate risk to a child's health or safety. They result in civil penalties and can trigger additional inspections. CCLD treats Type A as the highest severity tier in the licensing record.

Type B

General licensing requirement

Type B violations don't pose immediate risk but must be corrected. The facility files a Plan of Correction within a specified window. Type B is the bulk of citations on most licensing records.

CCLD officially calls these "deficiencies." This page uses "violations" because that is the term parents and providers search for. The regulation reference (e.g. 1596.871(c)(1)(A)) is preserved verbatim on every detail page.
