Westchester County Department of Health inspects food service establishments and posts results online; New York uses pass/fail rather than NYC-style letter grades, but violations are searchable by establishment.
WCDOH conducts unannounced inspections of restaurants, caterers, mobile vendors, and temporary food events under New York State Sanitary Code Subpart 14-1. Inspectors check temperature control, handwashing, cross-contamination, and rodent activity. Critical violations require immediate correction or re-inspection. Results are posted on the county health department website and on the New York State food service inspection portal. Westchester does not use the NYC A/B/C letter grade system; instead inspections list satisfactory or unsatisfactory along with itemized violations. Operators with repeated critical violations face permit suspension.
Critical violations trigger re-inspection within two weeks; permit suspension and closure orders for repeat unsatisfactory results.
