Inspection history
Every state inspection visit on record for this home, newest first, from New York State's public file. We show the record as it stands and don't grade it.
How to read this record
- New York State inspects home programs at least once a year unannounced, when the license or registration comes up for renewal, and after complaints. Every visit is listed with its date and result.
- Violations found means inspectors cited one or more rule violations on that visit. Each one lists the rule, what it requires, and whether the record shows it corrected (fixed) or still uncorrected.
- The state doesn't publish severity rankings the way the city does for daycare centers. Read the description itself, and ask the provider about anything that worries you.
- To double-check anything or request the fuller file, open the official state record or get a pre-filled records-request letter, using the buttons under the inspection list. More in our methodology.
Official rule text — what the state requires: Suitable precautions must be taken to eliminate all conditions in areas accessible to children which pose a safety or health hazard.
What this means
Building and equipment The rule requires suitable precautions to eliminate any condition, in areas children can reach, that poses a safety or health hazard. The wording is broad, and the public record does not name the hazard.
Worth asking: What hazard was cited, and what was done about it?
Official rule text — what the state requires: All child care programs must have at least one caregiver who holds a valid certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid on the premises of the child care program during the program's operating hours.
What this means
Practice The rule requires at least one caregiver with a valid CPR and first aid certification to be on the premises during all of the program's operating hours. A citation under it means the program was not meeting that requirement when it was cited.
Worth asking: Who holds the CPR and first aid certification, and when does it expire?
Official rule text — what the state requires: The group family day care home must report to the Office: any change affecting, or which reasonably might be expected to affect, those portions of the building and property in which the program is operating or which are used for the children's egress in the case of emergency; any change in household members; and any other change that would place the home out of compliance with applicable regulations.
What this means
Records The home must report to the state any change that could affect the parts of the building used by the program or for the children's exit in an emergency, any change in household members, and any other change that would put the home out of compliance. The citation concerns that duty to report.
Worth asking: Has anything about the home or household changed since the last license renewal?
