Comments
Met with Bharat and Sam in person in the facility, and eventually spoke to Jimmy on the phone. Bharat and Sam stated multiple times that no one was in charge at the facility and then also said that they I would have to come back when their manager who was out of the country returned.

The majority of the violations noted in this inspection report were also noted on last years inspection. The facility has not addressed the violations in a year and the same violations were present in the facility.

****The facility has 2 weeks to come into compliance with the minimum state require standards.****
