How do inspection violation points relate to the NYC letter grade a restaurant receives?
a.Fewer violation points earn a better grade (A), while more points lead to B or C
b.Only critical violations count and each is worth one point
c.More points always mean a better grade
d.Points have nothing to do with the grade
Explanation
The NYC letter grade is based on the number of violation points found during inspection: the fewest points earn an 'A', a moderate number a 'B', and the most a 'C'. Fewer points reflect better sanitary conditions. The grade card must be posted, giving the public a quick read on the establishment's inspection performance.
