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.

Critical · §47.57(f)OPEN

At time of inspection children were observed occupying space Not previously approved by the Dept of Buildings, FDNY and/or DOHMH.

What this means

Building and equipment Children were seen in space that had not been approved in advance by the Department of Buildings, FDNY or DOHMH.

Worth asking: Which rooms are approved for children, and can I see the approval?

Critical · §47.23(a)OPEN

Constant and competent supervision provided by adequate staff for children and groups of children

What this means

Practice Children were not under constant and competent supervision by enough staff. The city's wording is a template, and the public record does not say what the inspector saw.

Worth asking: How do you cover supervision during naps, bathroom trips, meals and outdoor play?
