Plan of Correction This identified deficiency was corrected on September 24, 2025, during a scheduled house meeting. The House Manager attended this meeting and explained to the tenants that he will be adjusting the hot water heater temperature to meet regulations. It was also explained to the residents that they cannot touch or adjust the water heater temperature themselves as it will be set to the highest temperature allowed within regulations. All residents expressed understanding. The House Manager then turned the water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The water heater will be checked bi-monthly to ensure compliance by the House Manager. |
