31,180 restaurants inspected by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. 93.7% earned a Grade A.
Restaurant inspections in New York City are conducted by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Every restaurant in NYC is inspected at least once a year on an unannounced basis. Inspectors check for food handling, food temperature, personal hygiene, and pest control, among other critical factors. Violations are scored on a point system: fewer points mean a better grade.
The source snapshot contains 31,180 restaurants tracked in New York City. Of the 20,297 that have received a letter grade, 93.7% earned a Grade A (0-13 violation points), meaning they meet the highest standards of food safety. Grade B (14-27 points) and Grade C (28+ points) indicate increasing levels of concern. Restaurants that score 28 or more points may face additional re-inspections.
When choosing where to eat in NYC, the letter grade posted in the window is your quickest indicator. Grade A restaurants have the fewest violations. However, even a Grade B or C restaurant may have corrected its issues since the last inspection. Check the inspection date to see how recent the data is.

The source snapshot contains 19,014 restaurants in New York City with a Grade A, representing 93.7% of all graded establishments. Grade A means the restaurant scored between 0 and 13 violation points during its most recent inspection.
A Grade C means the restaurant scored 28 or more violation points during inspection. This indicates significant food safety concerns were found. The restaurant must post the Grade C card in its window. It will typically be re-inspected within a shorter timeframe to check for improvements.
NYC restaurants are inspected at least once per year on an unannounced basis. Restaurants with lower grades may be re-inspected more frequently. Initial inspections that score 14 or more points trigger a re-inspection, typically within 1-2 months.
