Department of Health: So Far, 80 Percent Of New York City Restaurant Inspections Make The Grade

NY1 08/26/2010 16:37

City restaurants are making the grade when it comes to inspections. The city Department of Health dished out "A" and "B" grades in 80 percent of its inspections into food safety and sanitary conditions at restaurants since they started last month.

Of those restaurants that went through the entire process, only 12 percent got "C" grades and 8 percent were closed.

Under the new system, any restaurant that initially falls short of an "A" gets another visit within two to three weeks.

Operators can take the time to make improvements and boost their grade up on the second visit.
