New York City's Health Department conducts unannounced inspections of over 25,000 restaurants each year to enforce health and safety standards. While many establishments pass these evaluations, some are penalized for violations ranging from minor infractions to severe public health hazards that lead to immediate closure. Violations are graded, affecting the restaurant's letter rating, with 'A' for minimal points and 'C' for those with significant issues. The reality of dirty conditions, such as vermin and inadequate hygiene practices, reveals the ongoing battle against maintaining food safety in the city.
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.
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 28 points or more earning a 'C'.
