§ 6-17 Letter Grading.

RCNY § 6-17

(a)The Department, whenever practicable, shall conduct an inspection at least annually of each mobile food vending unit for the purpose of issuing such unit a letter grade. Based on the results of either the initial inspection or reinspection within an inspection cycle, a mobile food vending unit shall be graded as either "A", "B", or "C" for that inspection cycle, except that a unit shall not receive any grade if the Department orders that it be closed.

(b)The Department shall issue a letter grade of "A" to any unit that receives fewer than 14 points on either the initial inspection or reinspection within an inspection cycle.

(c)The Department shall not issue a letter grade to any mobile food vending unit receiving 14 or more points on an initial inspection but shall schedule a reinspection to occur no sooner than seven days after the initial inspection. The Department shall on the reinspection issue a grade of "B" to any unit receiving 14 - 27 points and a letter grade of "C" to any unit receiving 28 or more points.

(d)In addition to conducting an initial and any reinspection for the purpose of issuing a unit a letter grade, the Department may, in any inspection cycle, also conduct a compliance inspection after any inspection that results in a score of 28 points or more. The score received on any compliance inspection shall not change a unit's letter grade for that inspection cycle. (Added City Record 11/9/2018, eff. 12/9/2018)
