Savant of Burbank East has 16 state citations (6 serious, 10 minor) and 18 verified complaints since 2021 across 96 inspections, with the most recent inspection on 3/13/2026. The most serious documented incident involved a resident accessing a rooftop that maintenance staff had left unlocked during repair work; the investigation involved police and the county medical examiner. A 2024 inspection substantiated that staff had cut a resident's hair without the resident's consent and without notifying the resident's power of attorney, resulting in a cited deficiency. Inspectors also confirmed a bed bug infestation affecting multiple rooms across 2 floors between June and October 2020, requiring professional heat treatment by a pest control contractor. During that same period, some residents were not receiving the required minimum of 2 showers per week, with inspectors noting pandemic-era staffing shortages as a contributing factor.
