Failure to Maintain Clean and Safe Resident Bathroom
Penalty
Summary
A private bathroom with a shower shared by two residents was observed to have a slimy, fuzzy, black material resembling black mold on the grout line above the shower head and where the ceiling meets the drywall. The affected areas measured approximately 5 inches by half an inch and 12 inches by 6 inches, respectively. A housekeeper confirmed that the black substance had been present for an extended period and stated that a work order had been submitted, with maintenance being aware of the issue. However, the administrator later reviewed records from the past three months and found no evidence of a work order being submitted for this problem. Both the administrator and a corporate administrator verified the presence of the black material during their inspection.
