§416.3(h): Peeling or damaged paint
Peeling or damaged paint or plaster was found, and the rule says it must be repaired. The public record does not say which room.

The state's wording
Peeling or damaged paint or plaster must be repaired.
This is the text the state (OCFS) attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.
Worth asking the provider
Has the paint or plaster been repaired, and can I see the room?
Reading it on a record
Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
