1. 1

   Citation F911, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F911 in October 2018, December 2019 and December 2022. The agency describes it this way: Ensure resident rooms hold no more than 4 residents; for new construction after November 28, 2016, rooms hold no more than 2 residents. None rose above level B (potential for minimal harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
