Pests & FacilitiesQuestion 143 of 240
In NYC's restaurant letter-grade system, what does a grade of 'A' posted in the window indicate?
a.The restaurant failed inspection
b.The restaurant scored in the best (lowest-violation-points) range at its inspection
c.The restaurant is closed
d.The health department has never inspected it
Explanation
In NYC, the Health Department assigns sanitary inspection scores based on violation points, and the lowest point range earns an 'A' — the best grade — which must be posted where the public can see it. More violation points result in a 'B' or 'C' grade. An 'A' signals the strongest inspection result, not a failure or closure.
