Don't expect the Octo-Babies to be coming home this week. In a big setback for Nadya Suleman, Social workers from Kaiser Permanente hospital just inspected the octomom's new 2,500 square foot house in La Habra and they were not thrilled with what they saw.

A social worker liaison tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that Nadya's new house needs the following work before her babies come home:

*All lighting moved up onto the ceiling. No lamps or cords on the floor.
*Fireplace needs safety guards
*Stairs need to be re-built.
*Upstairs banister on stairs raised to enclose entire 2nd floor.
*Hypo-allergenic air filters installed
*Bunk beds can not be next to window in upstairs bedrooms.
*Blinds need to be cordless
*Storage cabinets installed

The social workers were very surprised and disappointed Nadya didn't show up for the inspection.

She should have showed up for the inspection, but I think some of their needs are not really needed. Blinds need to be cordless? All lighting moved to ceiling? Seems a bit extreme to me.
