The NYC Restaurant Inspection Guide

NYC inspectors assign penalty points to every violation they find — the more serious the risk, the more points. The points add into one score, and a lower score is a better grade: 0–13 points = A, 14–27 = B, 28+ = C. Score 14 or more on the first inspection and no grade is posted yet — the Health Department returns unannounced, and that re-inspection sets your grade.
