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: All paths of egress on the interior and exterior of the home, including corridors, aisles and approaches must be kept free of obstructions, impediments and debris at all times.
What this means
Building and equipment All paths of exit inside and outside the home, including corridors, aisles and approaches, must be kept free of obstructions, impediments and debris at all times. A citation means that was not the case when the home was cited.
Worth asking: Which exits would the children use, and are they kept clear?
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?
