Nassau County Department of Health inspects food service establishments under the Nassau County Sanitary Code Article XII, posting inspection results online rather than using letter grades like NYC.
NCDOH conducts unannounced inspections of restaurants, caterers, mobile food units, and temporary food vendors at least annually under Nassau County Sanitary Code Article XII. Inspectors score critical and general violations covering food temperature, sanitation, vermin, employee hygiene, and equipment. Unlike New York City, Nassau does not post letter grades on storefronts; full inspection reports are published on the NCDOH website. Failed inspections trigger reinspection within two weeks, and imminent health hazards can lead to immediate closure until corrected.
Critical violations such as improper holding temperatures, vermin, or sewage cross-connections can result in closure, fines, and permit suspension by NCDOH.
