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.
Fingerprint screening Not arranged for current and prospective personnel; Results Not satisfactory or CAP was Not approved
What this means
Records Fingerprint background screening was not arranged for current or prospective staff, or a result was not satisfactory and the plan the city requires in that case was not approved. The citation does not say a person with a record was working with children.
Worth asking: How do you make sure every employee's fingerprint clearance is complete before they start?
Child care service that fails to maintain documentation of vaccination or proof of exemption is subject to fines. Document Not available at time of inspection.
At time of inspection it was determined that child care service allows staff to perform their duties that are Not healthy or are incapable of carrying out their duties. Staff medical clearances are Not maintained by child care service.
What this means
Records Either staff were allowed to work while not healthy enough for their duties, or the center did not keep staff medical clearances on file. The city's wording covers both, and the public record does not say which one was found.
Worth asking: How do you keep staff medical clearances up to date?
