"Every year, inspectors arrive unannounced at more than 25,000 restaurants to examine health and safety standards. Most eateries pass inspections, but some fall short of the city's standards, accruing violation points for everything from broken light bulbs to "public health hazards," like vermin and failure to follow food safety protocols. Restaurants hit with non-food-safety violations might get a fine or a lower letter grade, with zero to 13 points warranting an 'A' and violations totaling 28 points or more earning a 'C'."

New York City's Health Department conducts unannounced inspections at over 25,000 restaurants annually to assess health and safety standards. Establishments accrue violation points for infractions ranging from broken light bulbs to public health hazards such as vermin and improper food handling. Non-food-safety violations can result in fines or lower letter grades; 0–13 points yields an A and 28 or more yields a C. Severe public health hazards that cannot be resolved immediately, like mouse or fly infestations, lead to immediate closure. Multiple Manhattan eateries were closed for vermin, live roaches, evidence of rats, missing temperature controls, and plumbing failures.
