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.
