Staten Island, NY — Campus Center Cafeteria (1C), located at 2800 Victory Boulevard, received a Grade B following a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection conducted on March 16, 2026. The establishment recorded a score of 23, placing it near the upper boundary of the Grade B range and within four points of a Grade C designation. Inspection data was released publicly by DOHMH on March 19, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented one critical violation during the visit. The citation — Code 06D — recorded that food contact surfaces were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized after each use and following activities during which contamination may have occurred.

Food contact surfaces include equipment such as cutting boards, prep tables, slicers, and utensils that come into direct contact with food during preparation and service. Failures in sanitation of these surfaces can facilitate cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat foods. No non-critical violations were noted during this inspection.

Food Safety Context

Under NYC Health Code Article 81, food service operators are required to maintain equipment and food contact surfaces in a clean and sanitary condition. The FDA Food Code similarly establishes that food contact surfaces must be cleaned and sanitized at required frequencies to prevent the buildup of pathogens that could contaminate food.

A score of 23 falls within the Grade B band, which spans 14 to 27 points. While a Grade B indicates that violations were identified, it also reflects that the establishment remains open and operational. The proximity to the 28-point Grade C threshold, however, signals an elevated level of concern relative to others in the B range.

Inspection History

Campus Center Cafeteria (1C) has a mixed inspection record in recent years. Prior results on file with DOHMH include:

  • January 21, 2026: Score 34 (above Grade C threshold)
  • August 26, 2024: Score 12 (Grade A)
  • February 6, 2024: Score 6 (Grade A)
  • December 13, 2022: Score 13 (Grade A)
  • January 4, 2022: Score 13 (Grade A)

The January 2026 inspection, which recorded a score of 34, would have placed the establishment in Grade C territory. The most recent inspection score of 23 represents an improvement from that result, though it remains above the Grade A threshold of 13 points or fewer.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

NYC restaurant grades are determined by the score assigned during a DOHMH inspection. The grading scale is as follows:

  • Grade A: Score of 0–13 points (fewest violations)
  • Grade B: Score of 14–27 points
  • Grade C: Score of 28 points or higher

Lower scores reflect fewer or less severe violations. Establishments that receive a Grade B or C on an initial inspection may request a re-inspection, at which point a letter grade is assigned based on the second visit.
