Operators can request an inspection history report for their food service establishment.
Restaurant Food Safety Workshops
The Health Department holds food safety workshops for operators throughout the five boroughs. At these workshops, you will:
- Learn how to achieve and maintain an “A” grade
- Receive an inspection history report that describes your restaurant’s repeat violations and how to correct them
- Be able to ask questions and receive guidance from Health Department staff on improving your restaurant's food safety practices
At this time, there are no workshops scheduled. Please check this site in February 2019 for the Spring 2019 schedule.
