NYC Restaurants Are Struggling With Department of Health Grade Delays | Eater NY

"The Union Square location received a "C" in 2024 and was recently cited for not posting its grade, part of reporting that some establishments are posting outdated grades or concealing current ones in contravention of city posting rules. The delayed reinspection process — driven by DOH staffing shortages and budget cuts — means the restaurant may wait far longer than the historical few months for a follow-up visit; the DOH notes there are "far fewer" inspectors than pre-pandemic levels, and last year’s DOH budget was cut by over $700 million from 2023." - Melissa McCart
