The New York City Health Department conducts unannounced inspections of over 25,000 restaurants annually, assessing compliance with health and safety regulations. While most establishments pass, some accumulate violation points for various issues, leading to fines and letter grade reductions. Non-food-safety violations incur penalties, and public health hazards such as pest infestations lead to immediate closures. Notable closures since August 1 include El Meson II Restaurant in Manhattan, which accrued 110 violation points for severe health violations, including pest infestations and improper food storage.
Every year, inspectors arrive unannounced at more than 25,000 restaurants to examine health and safety standards, with most eateries passing inspections.
Public health hazards that can't be resolved on the spot, like a mouse or fly infestation, pose a bigger issue: immediate closure.
