"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,"
"Garbage receptacle not pest or water-resistant, with tight-fitting lids, and covered except while in active use. Garbage receptacle and cover not cleaned after emptying and prior to reuse. Garbage, refuse and other solid and liquid waste not collected, stored, removed and disposed of to prevent a nuisance. Cold TCS food item held above 41 °F;"
New York City Health Department inspects over 25,000 restaurants annually without notice to evaluate health and safety standards. Most establishments pass inspections, but some accumulate violation points for issues ranging from broken light bulbs to public health hazards such as vermin and failures to follow food safety protocols. Non-food-safety violations can result in fines or lower letter grades; scores of zero to 13 points earn an A while 28 points or more earn a C. Severe public health hazards that cannot be corrected immediately, including mouse or fly infestations, can prompt immediate closure. Specific closures since October 17 include a Manhattan restaurant cited for multiple violations.
