Health Code 45.11(d) at a NYC daycare: what it means
The short answer
Health Code 45.11(d) is a public health hazard, the city's most serious level (fix within 1 business day). In the last 3 years of city inspections, 5 NYC daycare centers were cited for it, 6 times in total.
The city's wording
"Interior temp of 68deg. F - 72deg. F maintained when outside is 55deg F or less; heating apparatus adequately guarded; gas space heaters shall Not be used unless approved by DOHMH; kerosene heaters prohibited"
Most common wording on Child Care Connect for this section. Severity and fix deadlines come from the city's violation key.
