Queens, NY — Allissgeova, a Mexican restaurant located at 709 Beach 20th Street in Far Rockaway, Queens, received a Grade C following a health inspection conducted March 18, 2026. Inspectors from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) assigned a score of 30, placing the establishment in the Grade C range. Inspection data was released publicly by DOHMH on March 23, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented two violations during the March visit — one critical and one non-critical.

The critical violation, cited under Code 04L, recorded evidence of mice or live mice in food and non-food areas of the establishment. Under the FDA Food Code and NYC Health Code Article 81, the presence of rodents in a food service facility represents a direct threat to food safety. Rodents can contaminate food contact surfaces, ingredients, and equipment, and their presence triggers mandatory corrective action under city regulations.

The non-critical violation, cited under Code 08A, identified conditions conducive to rodent harborage — meaning inspectors found structural or environmental conditions that could allow pests to shelter or breed within the facility. These two violations are closely linked: harborage conditions are frequently a contributing factor to active rodent activity, and both must be addressed for a facility to improve its inspection standing.

Together, the two violations produced a score of 30, which falls within the Grade C range under DOHMH's scoring system.

Food Safety Context

New York City restaurant inspections are conducted unannounced by DOHMH inspectors under the authority of NYC Health Code Article 81. Violations are assigned point values based on their public health risk, with critical violations carrying higher point totals than non-critical ones.

Rodent-related critical violations are among the most serious categories identified in the FDA Food Code, which forms the basis for many of New York City's food safety standards. Active rodent evidence can result in immediate corrective orders and, depending on the severity and scope of the findings, may trigger a DOHMH closure order if conditions pose an imminent threat to public health.

Establishments that receive a score of 28 or higher on an initial inspection are typically subject to a re-inspection. The grade posted publicly reflects the most recent completed inspection cycle. Operators are required to display their current grade card in a window visible to the public.

Inspection History

Allissgeova has one prior inspection on record with DOHMH:

  • September 12, 2024: Score 26 (Grade N)

A Grade N designation — meaning "Not Yet Graded" — is assigned when an initial inspection results in a score of 14 or higher. In those cases, a second inspection is conducted, and the resulting grade from that follow-up visit is the one publicly posted. The September 2024 score of 26 fell just below the Grade C threshold. The most recent inspection, conducted in March 2026, resulted in a higher score and a posted Grade C.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

DOHMH assigns letter grades based on the total number of points accumulated during an inspection cycle. The grading scale is as follows:

  • A: 0–13 points (lowest risk)
  • B: 14–27 points (moderate risk)
  • C: 28 or more points (higher risk)

Grades are posted at the restaurant and published in the DOHMH online inspection database. Consumers can look up any restaurant's full inspection history, including violation codes and scores, through the NYC Restaurant Inspection Results portal at the DOHMH website.

Restaurants that receive a Grade C have the option to request an administrative hearing before the NYC Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) to contest violations. They may also receive a re-inspection, and an improved score on that visit can result in a grade change.
