Position within New York
16 citations — more than 67% of the 528 licensed assisted living facilities in New York. Compared only within New York: a citation from DOH means what it means in New York, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 4 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated
Not in this record
Fire safety inspection, severity, the regulation text, and enforcement. Fire safety inspections under the state fire code are made by local code enforcement and are not part of DOH's record; what DOH itself cites about the building — its environmental standards and its disaster and emergency planning rules — is here. DOH assigns no severity to a violation and publishes no correction date, only whether the facility's plan of correction was approved, which is not carried here. Violations under dispute through DOH's Inspection Review Process are withheld from its page and so from this one. Civil penalties and other enforcement are published separately and not republished, and an operator that is an individual is not named.

DOH also holds 9 older citations for this facility from before October 2022, outside the 4-year window these pages use. They are on the state’s own record.
Reflects the DOH record as pulled October 1, 2026. A recent visit may not appear yet. This is the New York state licensing record; it is not the federal nursing home survey and the two are never combined.
