Health Code 3.19 at a NYC daycare: what it means
The short answer
Health Code 3.19 is a public health hazard, the city's most serious level (fix within 1 business day). In the last 3 years of city inspections, 9 NYC daycare centers were cited for it, 9 times in total.
The city's wording
"Child care service/camp found to have submitted false and or misleading information on a submission to the Department. Child care service submitted documents found to have been forged. Illegal reproduction/alteration of permits observed"
Most common wording on Child Care Connect for this section. Severity and fix deadlines come from the city's violation key.
