In New York City, the Health Department regularly inspects over 25,000 restaurants to uphold health and safety regulations. Restaurants receive violation points for infractions, leading to letter grades determining their compliance status. While many succeed, a number face severe penalties, including closure for public health hazards such as pest infestations. Recently, eateries like Jacob's Pickles and Tasty Caribbean accumulated points from various violations, highlighting the ongoing concern regarding cleanliness and food safety in the industry.
Public health hazards that can't be resolved on the spot, like a mouse or fly infestation, pose a bigger issue: immediate closure.
Every year, inspectors arrive unannounced at more than 25,000 restaurants to examine health and safety standards.
