Incomplete Complaint Inspections As of May 31st

* The number of incomplete Complaint inspections from 2011

increased between May and April – a preliminary scan of these

records indicate that a proportion of these cases contain invalid

addresses. This information was vetted manually in April with the

Case Supervisor, but in May this was not possible because of

staffing changes. Either way, the “status” of these invalid cases

have not yet been closed in the Accela system and will remain

open when migrated into LAMA
