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 child care service facility observed Not maintained or in disrepair. Dry sweeping observed in areas occupied by children.
What this means
Building and equipment The facility was not kept in good repair, and dry sweeping was seen in areas where children spend time, which the rule does not allow.
Worth asking: How are the children's rooms cleaned, and when?
Epi auto injector Not provided, Not maintained or expired.
What this means
Building and equipment An epinephrine auto-injector (for severe allergic reactions) was not provided, was not maintained, or was expired.
Worth asking: Where is the auto-injector kept, and who is trained to use it?
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?
All staff with potential for unsupervised contact with children including volunteers have Not been cleared
What this means
Records Not all staff with potential for unsupervised contact with children, volunteers included, had been cleared.
Worth asking: Are all staff and volunteers fully cleared before working with children?
