It's confirmed; New York City Board of Health has decided that all restaurants across NYC will be required to post large letter grades showing the results of their most recent health inspection.
According to the Health Dept., if a restaurant gets an "A," they get the certificate immediately. If the inspection gets a grade below "A," restaurants have one month to get up to "A" status before having to post the lower grade. If the restaurant owner contests their sub-A grade, they can show “grade pending” signs until their case goes before the Health Department’s Administrative Tribunal.
