The full public record
California CCLD licensing visits since 2021 (inspections, complaint investigations and follow-ups), updated daily. Citations are matched to the latest visit on or before their correction due date, because the state download does not link them; Type A (immediate risk) and Type B totals are shown per visit kind.

| Visits | Count | Type A | Type B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensing inspections | 3 | 0 | 0 |
