"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' (this system is criticized for its efficacy by some gourmands)."
"IPizzaNY (621 2nd Ave.) Violation Points: 106 Food contact surface not properly washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any activity when contamination may have occurred. Hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F. Pesticide not properly labeled or used by unlicensed individual. Pesticide, other toxic chemical improperly used/stored. Unprotected, unlocked bait station used. Non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material, not kept clean,"
New York City health inspectors conduct unannounced inspections at more than 25,000 restaurants annually to evaluate health and safety standards. Most establishments pass inspections, but some accrue violation points for issues ranging from broken light bulbs to public health hazards such as vermin and food safety protocol failures. Non-food-safety violations can result in fines or lower letter grades under a point system where zero to 13 points earn an A and 28 or more points earn a C. Unresolvable public health hazards, including infestations or major sanitation breaches, can prompt immediate closure; examples include pesticide misuse, inadequate sanitation, improper food temperatures, and filth flies.
