      “Based on virtual observations, it was determined that areas and furnishings of the family day home, inside and outside, have not been maintained in a clean, safe, and operable condition. Evidence: The Inspector observed the following safety issues in the backyard play area: 1 - The children's picnic table has several areas of peeling paint. 2 - There is a wooden barrier surrounding the mulch bed of the playground space. The height of this barrier, and the space between the barrier and the flat ground, are such that they have created a tripping hazard for the children. 3 - Along two sides of the concrete patio, the edge of the patio is approximately the height of a street curb. Because the children play and run in this area, the height of the patio edge has created a tripping hazard for the children and a hazard that the children could fall and hit their head.”
