In New York City, the Health Department conducts unannounced inspections at over 25,000 restaurants annually to uphold health and safety standards. While many restaurants pass, those that don't incur violation points for issues ranging from minor concerns to significant public health threats, such as vermin infestations. Non-food-safety violations can lead to fines or reduced letter grades based on point accumulations, whereas severe violations can result in immediate closures. Recent closures include establishments like El Jobito 181 Restaurant, which scored 99 violation points, primarily due to inadequate sanitation and pest control.
