A grade that's gone stale
An inspection scoring 14+ earns no grade, so the previous A stays up. The median wait for the next inspection is 152 days, and 40% take longer than six months.
Is that restaurant actually clean?
You can't always trust the letter in the window.
We weigh every inspection the city publishes, and the years it no longer does, into one clear score out of 100. See how we determine the score.
What we look for
Pests
Rats, mice, roaches, flies and harborage conditions, weighted by how recent they are and how far the place has since come in clearing them.
Grade repair
A failing inspection converted to a pass days later. Legitimate by design, but still worth knowing about, especially when the failing visit recorded vermin.
Apples vs apples
Initial inspections fail 19% of the time at donut shops and 63% at Indian restaurants. So we show where a place lands in the range its own cuisine occupies, rather than against a citywide average that flatters some kitchens and punishes others.
