Restaurant inspections in Brooklyn 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 7,997 restaurants tracked in Brooklyn. Of the 4,764 that have received a letter grade, 95.0% earned a Grade A (0-13 violation points), reflecting that inspection rather than a guarantee of current 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.
