Record corrected Sep 16, 2026. Item 34 removed: the inspector did not cite it. It is not a violation. Item 15 is a core violation, as the form records, not priority. Item 37 is a core violation, as the form records, not priority foundation. The visit now shows items 5, 10, 15, 37, 41, 43 and 51, matching the inspector's own count. Found in our own review of the original form.
