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.
Staff and volunteers obtain documentation showing immunization with 2 doses measles/mumps, 1 dose rubella, 2 doses varicella and 1 dose Tdap. Medical exemptions only. History of measles, mumps or rubella shall Not replace MMR vaccine except in presence of MMR varicella antibodies.
What this means
Records The rule requires documentation showing that every staff member and volunteer has the required immunizations (measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox and Tdap), or a medical exemption. The citation concerns the records on file.
Worth asking: Do you keep immunization records current for every staff member, volunteers included?
