The following excerpt is from Elton v. County of Orange, 3 Cal.App.3d 1053, 84 Cal.Rptr. 27 (Cal. App. 1970):
Finally, the immunity provisions of Government Code section 818.6 are also inapplicable to the facts alleged by plaintiff. That section provides immunity to the public entity for a failure to make an inspection or for making a negligent inspection of Property for the purpose of determining whether the Property violates the law or is hazardous to health or safety. The section deals with inspections of physical property; (See Law Revision Comm.Comment to Gov.Code section 818.6; Sava v. Fuller, Supra, 249 Cal.App.2d 281, 292--293, 57 Cal.Rptr. 312); plaintiff complains of the permitted deficiencies of her foster parents and not of the physical inadequacies of her foster home.
