0deficiencies
Well below state avg (15.4)
Clean record — no deficiencies

Morton Bakar Center shows a concerning pattern of recurring fire safety and electrical system deficiencies across all three federal surveys from 2019 to 2024. The facility has repeatedly failed inspections for smoke detection systems, fire alarms, emergency lighting, and electrical safety, with many of the same issues appearing year after year despite reported corrections. While all deficiencies show correction dates and none triggered complaints, the persistent recurrence of critical safety violations warrants careful consideration.
