Bronx, NY — Addeos Of The Bronx, a pizza restaurant at 1056 Morris Park Avenue, was closed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) following an inspection conducted June 3, 2026. The establishment received a score of 92, placing it in the C grade range under the city's restaurant grading system. Inspection data was released by DOHMH on June 5, 2026.

Inspectors cited two critical violations and one non-critical violation. The violations requiring immediate action were addressed at the time of inspection, per DOHMH protocol, though the establishment was ordered closed pending compliance.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented the following violations during the June 3 visit:

Violation Code 05D, a critical violation, was cited for the absence of an accessible handwashing facility. Under this code, inspectors identified that no compliant handwashing station was available in or adjacent to the toilet room or within 25 feet of food preparation, food service, or ware washing areas. The code also covers situations where hot and cold running water, soap, or an acceptable hand-drying device are absent or inadequate.

Violation Code 04M, also a critical violation, recorded the presence of live roaches in the facility's food or non-food areas. The presence of live pests during an active inspection is among the most serious findings DOHMH inspectors can document, as it indicates an active infestation at the time of the visit.

Violation Code 08A, a non-critical violation, noted that the establishment was not free of harborage or conditions conducive to rodents, insects, or other pests. This violation addresses structural or environmental conditions that may allow pests to shelter or breed within the facility.

Food Safety Context

New York City's restaurant inspection program operates under NYC Health Code Article 81, which establishes food safety requirements for all food service establishments. Handwashing access is addressed in Article 81.09, which mandates that adequate handwashing facilities be maintained, accessible, and stocked with soap and a hand-drying method at all times. The FDA Food Code similarly identifies handwashing as a foundational control measure for preventing the spread of foodborne illness.

The presence of live pests, particularly cockroaches, is addressed under Article 81.22 of the NYC Health Code. Roaches are recognized vectors for pathogens including Salmonella and E. coli. The FDA Food Code classifies active pest activity as a significant food safety hazard requiring immediate corrective action.

When a DOHMH inspector identifies violations that pose an imminent public health hazard, the agency has authority under Article 81 to order an establishment closed until those conditions are corrected and a reinspection confirms compliance. A closure order does not necessarily reflect a permanent closure; establishments may reopen once the DOHMH determines the facility meets health code standards.

Inspection History

Addeos Of The Bronx has a mixed inspection record in recent years. Prior inspection scores are as follows:

  • Nov 24, 2025: Score 28 (C range)
  • Jun 12, 2024: Score 10 (Grade A)
  • Mar 9, 2023: Score 9 (Grade A)
  • Feb 15, 2023: Score 39 (C range)
  • Aug 29, 2022: Score 0 (Grade A)
  • Jul 18, 2022: Score 0

The restaurant earned Grade A scores consistently from mid-2022 through mid-2024, including perfect scores of 0 in 2022. A score of 28 in November 2025 placed the establishment at the threshold of the C grade range at that time. The June 2026 inspection, with a score of 92, represents a significant departure from the restaurant's earlier performance.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City's letter grading system is based on the numerical score assigned during a sanitary inspection. Scores are calculated by totaling the points associated with each cited violation:

  • Grade A: Score of 0 to 13 points
  • Grade B: Score of 14 to 27 points
  • Grade C: Score of 28 points or more

Lower scores indicate fewer or less severe violations. Critical violations, such as those involving pests or improper food handling, carry higher point values than non-critical violations. A score of 92 reflects the cumulative weight of the violations identified during this inspection.

Restaurants that receive a score outside the Grade A range during an initial inspection are typically reinspected within a defined period. At the time of a closure order, the establishment must pass a compliance inspection before it may reopen.

Diners can look up inspection records for any NYC restaurant through the DOHMH's online restaurant inspection database at the NYC Open Data portal or the city's official health department website. All inspection records, including scores, violation codes, and actions taken, are public record.
