Deputy Commissioner for Environmental Health Corinne Schiff said.</p><p>Those summaries also include a QR code which takes parents to a website with more information about the day care.</p><p>The city said it updated the summary sheets and revived the de Blasio-era requirement this spring because it was paused during COVID.</p><p>Parents hope that and other new initiatives can create real change and accountability.</p><p>Last year, for example, the mom of a child at Bright Horizons at Columbus Circle said she learned of a health code violation not from a performance summary, but from a CBS News New York Investigation. That violation was for&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/bright-horizons-at-columbus-circle-day-care-water-pitcher-bleach/" target="_blank">an employee putting a cleaning solution with bleach in a water pitcher</a></span>, which was then served to kids. Bright Horizons said that was an accident.</p><p>"Had it not been for you, I would've never known. Like, this was never communicated to us at all in any way, and it's just really bad practice," the mom said.</p><ul><li><em><span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/submit-a-tip-to-the-cbs-new-york-investigative-team/">Do you have a story that needs investigating? Let us know</a></span>.</em></li></ul><h2>Universal child care expansion</h2><p>The revived requirement for day cares comes as Mayor Zohran Mamdani&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/mayor-zohran-mamdani-first-100-days-recap/" target="_blank">works to expand free child care across the city</a></span>.</p><p>"We are so excited to be a part of the mayor's expansion to universal child care, and I think it has been made very clear that meeting these high health and safety standards will be a key part of that program," Schiff said.</p><p>Mamdani revealed the city's enforcement plans earlier this year in response to <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/bright-horizons-at-columbus-circle-day-care-water-pitcher-bleach/" target="_blank">the bleach incident</a></span> and <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/bright-horizons-at-columbus-circle-child-abuse-investigation/" target="_blank">child abuse allegations at that same Bright Horizons location</a></span>.</p><p>"The health department is also holding Bright Horizons accountable and seeking a revocation of Bright Horizons' permits to operate a child care center of any kind at ... Columbus Circle," Mamdani said in February.</p><p>Weeks later, the city announced that <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/bright-horizons-giving-up-permit-nyc-day-care-center/" target="_blank">Bright Horizons surrendered its permits for the Columbus Circle center</a></span> and agreed in a settlement to not open any new centers in New York City for 10 months.</p><p>The company said it's encouraged by the settlement, is committed to transparency, and had already taken corrective actions, including appointing a new leader of New York operations. A Bright Horizons spokesperson also said Bright Horizons is now installing security cameras in all classrooms.</p><p>"If it's really a serious, serious condition, where we think that that program isn't operating safely, we will require that program to close, and we'll work with that provider to make those corrections," Schiff said.</p><p>The health department encourages people to check out any day cares they're thinking of enrolling in at&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://access.nyc.gov/programs/nyc-child-care-connect/">the NYC Child Care Connect website</a>, which does include inspection histories. &nbsp;</p>

This fire rapidly raced up the stairs, involving all floors of this building," FDNY Chief of Fire Operation Kevin Woods said.</p><p>A longtime building resident who would not go on camera told CBS News New York he heard no fire alarms or smoke detectors that might have spared the life of a neighbor, or potentially the lives of pets apparently left behind.</p><p>On social media, the FDNY&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/NotifyNYC/status/2046648145925251073">advised people who live in the area to close their windows and expect heavy traffic delays</a>.</p><p>Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson said East 187th Street from Belmont Avenue to Beaumont Avenue, and Crescent Avenue from Hughes Avenue to Cambreleng Avenue were closed to traffic.</p><p>"Pray for our families and neighbors. This is traumatic," Gibson said. "The FDNY shows up in this borough all the time. Residents know how many fires we have faced."</p><p>All of the first responders were up against challenging conditions.</p><p>"The roof has collapsed in a large portion of that building. A lot of the stairwell has collapsed as well, so we had to pull our firefighters out of the building," Woods said.</p><p>"Not every individual would go up there or inside and risk their lives, trying to make sure the fire's out, so props to them. And to those who are still up there in that smoke, honestly, you guys, I admire you. They're brave, really brave," resident Yameleith Rivera said.</p><p>The cause of the fire remains under investigation.</p><h2>"You're losing everything"</h2><p>Others said they saw some distraught tenants being evacuated from the building.</p><p>"Yeah, they were crying. They were absolutely destroyed inside. You're losing everything," one woman said.</p><p>"What's on my body right now is the only thing that I own. Everything else is in there, so I have nothing, literally nothing," another resident said.</p><p>"There is probably 3 or 4 feet of water now, and I don't even know if my cat made it," another added. "What's gonna happen now?"</p><p>Surveillance video captured people on the sidewalk rushing over with a ladder to help save neighbors.</p><p>"Me and my cousin, we helped him down," said Abdulrahman Albahri, who works at a nearby deli. "He was shaken, too. He was very scared."</p><p>Moments later, video shows another person rush out of the burning building. Smoke appears to be coming off his sweater and his pants around his ankles. As he runs into the street looking distraught, people rush to his rescue.</p><p>"All his body was burned. His clothes was all torn up. All his clothes was burned," Albahri said.</p><p>Albahri said it was his responsibility to help his neighbors.</p><p>"They're like family," he said. &nbsp;</p><p>The Red Cross said they were helping 77 displaced residents, including 24 children, with temporary lodging, disaster health services and more.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Embattled Mets closer Devin Williams allowed a tiebreaking RBI single to Luke Keaschall in the ninth inning, and New York lost its 12th consecutive game, falling 5-3 to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.</p><p>The Mets' skid is their longest since they dropped 12 straight from Aug. 10-23, 2002. No team has made the playoffs after a season in which it lost 12 in a row.</p><p>Matt Wallner followed Keaschall by drawing a bases-loaded walk off Williams (0-1), who didn't retire any of the five batters he faced before being booed off the mound. Williams has allowed seven runs while recording four outs in his last three appearances.</p><p>The Mets were in position to end their streak when Nolan McLean retired the first 15 Twins batters and Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer in the third to give the Mets their biggest lead since April 5, when they beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2.</p><p>The homer was Lindor's first with a man on base since last Aug. 15 &mdash; one day before McLean's debut.</p><p>Wallner led off the sixth with a single off McLean and Byron Buxton homered with two outs. Keaschall tied the game with an RBI single in the seventh.</p><p>A quartet of Twins pitchers retired the final 14 Mets in order. Cole Sands (1-1) tossed the last two innings.</p><p>McLean allowed three runs and struck out 10 in 6 2/3 innings. Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson gave up three runs and struck out two in five innings.</p><h4><strong>Up next</strong></h4><p>The Twins have yet to announce a starter for Wednesday, which was Richardson's day to pitch before he got moved up in place of the injured Mick Abel. RHP Clay Holmes (2-2, 1.96 ERA) is set to pitch for the Mets.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p><em>By DOUG ALDEN Associated Press</em></p><p>Giancarlo Stanton hit a solo homer in the second and added a two-run double as the New York Yankees extended their winning streak to four straight with a 4-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.</p><p>Stanton, who sat out a 7-0 win over Kansas City on Sunday after going 0-for-9 in his previous two games, drove in the first three runs for New York and gave starter Luis Gil all the offense he needed against the struggling Red Sox.&nbsp;</p><p>Gil (1-1) picked up his first win of the season holding Boston to just two hits as the Yankees outhit the Red Sox 10-4 and cruised to their major league-leading fifth shutout of the season. Cody Bellinger extended his hitting streak to nine straight with a single in the eighth and scored on Randal Grichuk's double to center.&nbsp;</p><p>The Red Sox went without a hit from Marcelo Mayer's double in the second until Carlos Narv&aacute;ez singled in the eighth. Boston lost for the third time in four games.&nbsp;</p><p>Gil hadn't gone more than five innings in either of his previous two starts. He went 6 1/3 on Tuesday with two strikeouts and three walks.</p><p>Stanton led off the second with a towering shot to left, driving a 1-0 slider from Connelly Early (1-1) over the Green Monster for his third homer of the season and New York's 19th in the last eight games.&nbsp;</p><p>Stanton drove in two more in the sixth with a drive off the scoreboard in left-center, bringing in Amed Rosario and Aaron Judge after the Yankees led off the inning with back-to-back walks. Stanton was robbed of another hit in the eighth when Mayer made a leaping catch at the center-field wall.&nbsp;</p><p>New York's Ben Rice, who had homered in four straight games, was 0-for-4 - striking out all four times.&nbsp;</p><h2>Up next</h2><p>Yankees LHP Max Fried (2-1, 2.97 ERA) faces Boston lefty Ranger Suarez (1-1, 3.22) in the second of the three-game series.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Harvey Weinstein's trial began Tuesday with opening statements in a Manhattan courtroom.&nbsp;</p><p>This is the former movie producer's&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/harvey-weinstein-rape-trial-nyc-jury-selection/" target="_blank">third rape trial in New York</a></span>&nbsp;after he was tried in 2020 and 2025. He is accused of third-degree&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/harvey-weinstein-rape-trial-jury-selection-nyc/">rape of actress Jessica Mann</a></span>&nbsp;in a hotel room in 2013. He has pleaded not guilty.</p><p>Weinstein, 74, is currently serving a&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/harvey-weinstein-sentenced-16-years-rape-sexual-assault-california/">16-year sentence</a></span>&nbsp;from a conviction in California. He has been behind bars for a little over six years, but continuously says he "never assaulted anyone."</p><p>Jury selection began last week, and seven men and five women were picked. The trial is expected to last four weeks.</p><h2>Weinstein exerted his powerful status over Mann, prosecutors say</h2><p>Prosecutors said Weinstein preyed on fragile and sheltered young women during opening statements. They said he was one of the most powerful and influential movie executives who exerted his status over Mann.</p><p>Lawyers said the two met at an engagement party when Mann was 27 and Weinstein was 61.&nbsp;</p><p>"This case will come down to power, control and manipulation," prosecutors said, arguing the word "no" was one that Weinstein "was not used to hearing, not in his professional life and not in his personal life."</p><p>They said Weinstein pretended to be interested in her career as she was trying to become an actress in Los Angeles and "dangled praise and attention like a carrot." They met up multiple times.</p><p>When Weinstein found out Mann was dating someone else, he was enraged and raped her, prosecutors said.&nbsp;</p><h2>Defense says they had a consensual relationship</h2><p>Jacob Kaplan, one of <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/video/harvey-weinstein-hires-lawyers-who-represent-luigi-mangione-sean-diddy-combs/" target="_blank">Weinstein's lawyers</a></span>, said the case is about regret. He emphasized there were four years' worth of messages between the two that he said will show they had a loving, supportive and consensual relationship for those four years.</p><p>He said Mann stayed around Weinstein because of the opportunities he could provide, including meeting other producers and movie stars.</p><p>"She knew what she wanted and she knew how to get it," the defense said. "Harvey was the opportunity that she had always been looking for."</p><p>There was no reason she couldn't have walked away, he said.</p><p>The defense said Mann regretted the relationship and changed the narrative. Kaplan emphasized emails the defense will show throughout the trial between Mann and Weinstein.&nbsp;</p><p>"This case will be her word against her own word," Kaplan said.</p><h2>Weinstein's rape retrial details</h2><p>This case stems from the 2020 trial, where Weinstein was convicted of raping Mann and forcing oral sex on another woman. The New York Court of Appeals overturned the conviction.  </p><p>Then, he had a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/video/harvey-weinstein-retrial-comes-to-disjointed-end-with-mistrial-on-rape-charge/">retrial in 2025</a>, but it resulted in a&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/harvey-weinstein-mistrial/">split verdict</a></span>. He was found guilty of sexually assaulting&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/harvey-weinstein-retrial-first-witness-miriam-haley/">Miriam Hale</a></span>&nbsp;and not guilty of assaulting&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/harvey-weinstein-retrial-kaja-sokola-testifies/">Kaja Sokola</a></span>. Jurors couldn't reach a verdict on allegations that he assaulted Mann.</p><p>The judge upheld the first two convictions but declared a mistrial on the final rape charge after the jury foreperson refused to keep deliberating. Weinstein will be sentenced on his 2025 conviction after a verdict is reached in this trial.</p><p><span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/harvey-weinstein-luigi-mangione-diddy-lawyers/" target="_blank">Weinstein hired a new legal team for this trial</a></span> &ndash; the same attorneys <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/sean-diddy-combs-lawyers-appeal-conviction/" target="_blank">who defended Sean "Diddy" Combs</a></span>.</p><p>"The defense may be coming a little heavier at that consent argument, possibly, because this is now a one victim case instead of a multi-victim case," legal expert Richard Schoenstein said.</p><p>Weinstein was considering pleading guilty to avoid trial in January. But his lawyers said he still maintains his innocence.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>The parents of <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/woman-shot-lakefront-rogers-park/">Sheridan Gorman</a></span> are speaking out for the first time since their daughter, a Loyola University freshman, was shot and killed in March, allegedly by a man who authorities say entered the U.S. illegally. They are calling for accountability and change.</p><p>"I don't care what side of the aisle politically people are on, or is right in the middle like us. This can't happen. We've got to make changes," Jessica Gorman, her mother, told CBS News.</p><p>Her father, Thomas, added, "We all should be able to agree about the safety of our kids."</p><p>Sheridan was out walking with friends near Chicago's lakefront around 1:30 a.m. on March 19 when a masked man with a gun approached their group. He opened fire, and Sheridan, an 18-year-old from Yorktown, New York, was shot. She died on the spot.&nbsp;</p><p>Investigators said it appears to have been a random shooting. The suspect, Jose Medina, an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela who first entered the U.S. in 2023, was <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/charges-filed-fatal-shooting-loyola-university-student-sheridan-gorman/">arrested</a></span> a few days later.&nbsp;</p><p>Records show he had been charged with theft in Chicago in 2023 and <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/suspect-due-court-shooting-loyola-chicago-freshman-sheridan-gorman/">released on bond</a></span>. He did not show up for court, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, but he remained free.</p><p>Medina is being held in the Cook County jail with no bond and is facing first-degree murder and other charges. In a statement, Assistant Public Defender Julie Koehler called the case "a tragedy." She said Medina had been shot in the head as a teen and has "the mental capacity of a child."</p><p>Asked what accountability would look like, Jessica Gorman said, "I don't think we know yet."</p><p>"There's definitely policies that, that contributed to this happening, and we can't save Sheridan," her father said. "But we can't just not do anything."</p><p><em>Watch more of Matt Gutman's interview with Jessica and Thomas Gorman Wednesday on "CBS Mornings" and "CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil."&nbsp;</em></p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A previously unreleased song is one of many ways Prince is being honored a decade after <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/prince-death-eighth-anniversary-wcco-remembers/" target="_blank">his death</a></span>. The Minnesota superstar <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/medical-situation-paisley-park/" target="_blank">died at his Paisley Park home</a></span> in Chanhassen 10 years ago on Tuesday.&nbsp;</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVvEfey2bmg">official Prince YouTube page posted "With This Tear,"</a> recorded in 1991 at Paisley Park. The track has been newly mixed and mastered and features Prince producing, arranging, composing and performing all instrumentation.&nbsp;</p><p>Shortly after the creation of the song, Prince offered it to C&eacute;line Dion, who recorded her own version in 1992.&nbsp;</p><p>The Prince account said this track is one of many Prince recordings scheduled for release this year as part of a never-before-released album project.</p><p>Fans have been gathering at <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/54-years-ago-iconic-minneapolis-music-venue-first-avenue-opened-its-doors/" target="_blank">First Avenue</a></span> in Minneapolis to remember the legendary singer. A mural honoring Prince stands tall near the city's signature music venue.</p><p>Fans gathered near the mural on Monday talked about where they were when they heard the news of Prince's death.</p><p>"I was sleeping at the time because I work overnights, but I had a bunch of family members and friends trying to to reach out. And then it finally woke me up and I was just devastated," Kris Phelps, a Prince fan from Iowa, said. "And I had to look it up myself because it just couldn't have been true."</p><p>"I remember I was at work and a friend of mine called and she was distraught and she was like, 'Pick up your phone,' because I never really pick up my phone. So I called her back and she was like, 'He's dead,' and I'm like, 'Who?' And she's like, 'Prince.' And we were devastated," Prince fan Natasha Jackson said.</p><p>Paisley Park was one of several Prince-related stops on Adam Urgo's multi-day trip to the Twin Cities. He also went to the Purple Rain house, Electric Fetus and First Avenue. The emotions, however, might have been the strongest at Paisley Park.</p><p>"I've been a fan since 13 years old. I'll be 55 on Friday. So, this has been the culmination of my life leading up to this very moment 11, and being here to be able to celebrate this day," Ugro said.</p><p>As a striking memorial of Prince adorned the stage where he used to perform, Suzanne Skibinksi looked on quietly, mourning, but also appreciating the joy he gave his fans.</p><p>"It just kind of brings back a whole lifetime of being a Prince fan from the time I was 12 years old. Concert after concert and being here several times when he was in the building," she said.</p><p>Paisley Park was busy with visitors on the anniversary of Prince's death. Some left tributes on a memorial fence outside, just like they did a decade earlier along Highway 5.</p><p>Gov. Tim Walz, asked what Prince song he was listening to Tuesday to mark the date, said "I'm a '1999' guy, because I'm old enough that it still seems like it's the future."</p><p>Walz added, "I feel like I thought about this a couple times. Said it this winter, I wonder how <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/live-updates/minnesota-ice-surge-ending-feds-say/" target="_blank">Metro Surge</a></span> and things would have been different if you (Prince) were still alive, because you saw some of the voices that were speaking up on that."</p><p>Paisley Park, Prince's former home and music studio space, will be hosting <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paisleypark.com/events/a-day-2-reflect-a-night-2-remember">a special remembrance event</a> on Tuesday. The park was busy with visitors Tuesday as some left tributes on the memorial fence like they did a decade earlier.</p><p>"I really thought he would be a long living musician, kind of like Duke Ellington," said Terry Jackson, one of Prince's childhood friends who was a member of their teenage band, Grand Central.</p><p>Paisley Park will also host a musical tribute in June during <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paisleypark.com/celebration2026">Celebration 2026</a>.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Enforcement will soon begin on an obscure New York City law passed in 2009 that requires most businesses to replace traditional solid roll-down security gates with versions that are at least 70% transparent.</p><p>The July 1, 2026, deadline was written into the law when it passed with the goal of phasing out noncompliant gates gradually over many years. &nbsp;</p><p>The measure, known as Local Law 75, requires most storefront security gates to allow visibility into businesses after hours.</p><h2>Business owners say city didn't do enough outreach</h2><p>As the July 1 deadline approaches, some business owners in southern Brooklyn say they are only now learning about the mandate and worry they will not have enough time or money to comply.&nbsp;</p><p>Walking into Randy Goldstein's Compact Disk Shoppe feels like a trip back to the 1990s. Goldstein opened the store in 1992 and later expanded to house his insurance brokerage next door. That was the last time he says he replaced his metal roll-down gate.</p><p>"Everybody that has regular gates has to change the gates in two months? Hello?!" Goldstein told CBS News New York's Hannah Kliger.</p><p>Yelena Makhnin, executive director of the Brighton Beach Business Improvement District, said the city has not done enough outreach to notify owners.</p><p>"Even before coming here, I asked six businesses, have you ever seen any flyers? No," Makhnin said.</p><p>She estimated only 12-15% of businesses in the area are currently compliant.</p><p>Randy Peers, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, said that trend extends beyond Brighton Beach.</p><p>"I think that's absolutely reflective of what you're going to find in Brooklyn and in most of the outer boroughs," he said.</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content"><img src="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/04/21/f4bc6cbe-21d5-4dd6-a58e-878e7c74ce21/thumbnail/620x349/60fd33f9657af1a5f3bad7c3565f0c4f/kliger-5p-pkg-roll-down-wcbshkgy-hi-res-still-00-00-3610.jpg#" alt="Transparent security gate " height="349" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/04/21/f4bc6cbe-21d5-4dd6-a58e-878e7c74ce21/thumbnail/620x349/60fd33f9657af1a5f3bad7c3565f0c4f/kliger-5p-pkg-roll-down-wcbshkgy-hi-res-still-00-00-3610.jpg 1x, https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/04/21/f4bc6cbe-21d5-4dd6-a58e-878e7c74ce21/thumbnail/1240x698/f403e489b8b5868c07f428ba974844c0/kliger-5p-pkg-roll-down-wcbshkgy-hi-res-still-00-00-3610.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">A 2009 New York City law requiring most roll-down security gates to be at least 70% transparent is set to take effect this summer.</span><span class="embed__credit">

Eric Piker, owner of Eric's Health Food Shoppe, said he worries exposed glass storefronts could be more vulnerable.</p><p>"I'm afraid for my glass, actually. I'm afraid that somebody is going to just, like, poke something into it and just break it," Piker said.</p><p>Goldstein, who said he has six gates across his businesses, said the cost is prohibitive.</p><p>"It's gotta cost me minimum 10 grand," he said.</p><p>"There are so many businesses closing their doors ... because constant competition with online shopping," Makhnin said.</p><p>"We're talking a lot of expense. And this is on top of increasing expenses that has led to more business closures in 2025 than business startups for the first time since COVID," Peers said. &nbsp;</p><p>Peers said the law was intended as an aesthetic and anti-graffiti measure. Last month, he wrote a letter to elected officials asking them to delay or repeal it.</p><p>A spokesperson for the city Department of Buildings says in a statement, in part, <em>"The law gave property owners 17 years to comply with these requirements. The Department of Buildings does not have the legal authority to change the law unilaterally. Only the City Council has that authority. If changes are proposed, we would be ready to collaborate with them, and we stand ready to implement any potential changes to the law that they approve."</em></p><p>Lawmakers are considering drafting legislation that could make changes before enforcement begins, though no bill has yet been introduced.</p><p><em>Have a story idea or tip in Brooklyn?
