Unlicensed Jewish day care center may stay shut
The Staten Island day-care center ordered closed on Thursday may have been operating without a license for years, according to city records.
Torah Tots Academy, which enrolled more than 90 children in separate buildings at 289 Harold St. and 389 Bradley Ave. in Willowbrook, was shut indefinitely by city officials because of insufficient fire exits, overcrowding and the lack of a Health Department license.
Buildings Department officials said the center's owner filed for a permit in 1998 to convert the two-family pink stucco building at 389 Bradley Ave. into a day-care center, but never finalized the approval.
