| 6400.67(b) | There was a ping-pong ball amount of lint in the dryer at the time of the inspection. | Floors, walls, ceilings and other surfaces shall be free of hazards. | This regulation is important because dryer lint can lead to fires. This regulation helps maintain safe conditions in the home and minimizes the risk of a fire. At the time of inspection, there was a ping-pong size ball amount of lint in the dryer. This happened because an individual did laundry the morning the inspector did the licensing, and the Individual typically empties the dryer lint before putting a new load in the dryer. Additionally, staff did not take the necessary steps to ensure the lint was cleared from the dryer.
Immediately following the inspection on 3/29/2022, the dryer lint was removed. Additionally, the individual was coached on cleaning the dryer lint immediately following removing laundry from the dryer because the Individual prefers to be as independent as possible.
On 4/1/2022, the entire team at Northbrook Lane was informed of this citation and the Residential Supervisor sent an email to the team about checking the dryer lint daily. Attachment #3 is proof of the email that was sent. |
