Inspection history
DOHMH inspection records, newest first, with each violation's official severity and current OPEN/CORRECTED status. We show the government record verbatim and don't grade it.
How to read this record
- Critical — DOHMH's classification for violations that pose a risk to children's health or safety. The center must correct these, and DOHMH follows up.
- General — lower-risk Health Code violations. They still must be corrected.
- OPEN — not yet recorded as corrected in the latest data. CORRECTED — fixed, and the correction is on the record.
- DOHMH inspects licensed centers routinely, after complaints, and to verify corrections — so a violation on record is normal; what matters is severity, whether it is still open, and whether it repeats. Details in our methodology.
At time of inspection it was determined that child care service failed to take any and all necessary action to eliminate potential hazards.
What this means
Building and equipment The center did not take every necessary action to eliminate a potential hazard. The public record shows only this template wording, not which hazard the inspector saw, so the center is the one to ask.
Worth asking: What hazard was cited, and what was done about it?
At the time child care service was providing care it has been determined that the child care service failed to limit areas used by children to their exclusive use. Unauthorized children and/or adults allowed to inhabit child care service facilities during child care hours.
What this means
Practice The center did not limit the areas used by children to their exclusive use during child care hours. Unauthorized children or adults were allowed in the facility.
Worth asking: Who else uses the building during the day, and how is access controlled?
