Motel Shutdown And Complaints

Summary

Motels in California can be shut down for health and safety violations, unlicensed operations, or building code issues. Guests can report concerns to the local County Health Department, Building Department, or the California Department of Consumer Affairs. If a motel owner fails to pay workers, offering only free accommodation, it violates labor laws. Such issues can be reported to the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) for investigation. To check if a motel is registered with the county tax collector, contact the local County Tax Collector’s Office. For labor law violations, contact the DIR at (844) 522-6734 or visit their website.
