About inspections in New York City

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspects every restaurant across the five boroughs and assigns the familiar A, B, or C letter grade posted in the window, based on the points scored for violations. We bring those results together here so you can look up a specific New York City restaurant and see the violations behind its grade.

See the official results published by NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

How New York City’s results work

Results are based on official public health inspections. Depending on the jurisdiction you may see colour-coded placards or a numerical score — our placards and scores guide explains what each result means, and our guide to checking inspections in Canada covers how the data is published.
