Brooklyn, NY — Comfort Inn - Prospect Park, located at 150 20 Street in Brooklyn, received a score of 25 points during a New York City health inspection conducted on February 27, 2026, placing the establishment in Grade B range. Inspectors documented two non-critical violations related to food contact surfaces and drainage systems at the American cuisine establishment.
The inspection data was released by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on March 2, 2026.
What Inspectors Found
During the inspection, DOHMH inspectors cited two non-critical violations at the establishment. No critical violations were recorded.
The first violation, coded 09C, identified issues with the design, construction, materials, or maintenance of food contact surfaces. Inspectors noted that surfaces were not easily cleanable, sanitized, or properly maintained. Food contact surfaces must meet specific standards to prevent contamination and ensure that equipment can be adequately cleaned between uses.
The second violation, coded 10B, documented problems with anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention devices, improper drainage of equipment or floors, or issues with the sewage disposal system. Inspectors also noted improper disposal of condensation or liquid waste. These plumbing and drainage issues can create unsanitary conditions if not addressed.
While neither violation was classified as critical, both contributed to the establishment's score of 25, which falls within the Grade B designation.
Food Safety Context
NYC Health Code Article 81 establishes the regulatory framework for food service establishments in New York City, setting standards for equipment maintenance, facility design, and sanitation practices. The FDA Food Code similarly requires that food contact surfaces be smooth, easily cleanable, and maintained in good repair.
Proper drainage and back-flow prevention are essential components of food safety infrastructure. Anti-siphonage devices prevent contaminated water from flowing back into clean water supplies, while functional drainage systems ensure that wastewater and condensation are disposed of in a sanitary manner.
Establishments cited for these types of violations are expected to correct the conditions. Reinspection typically follows to verify that identified issues have been resolved.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades
New York City assigns letter grades to food service establishments based on inspection scores. Lower scores indicate fewer violations and better compliance with health codes:
- Grade A: 0–13 points
- Grade B: 14–27 points
- Grade C: 28 or more points
A Grade B score indicates that an establishment has accumulated a moderate number of violation points. Restaurants receiving a Grade B may request a reinspection or proceed through an adjudication process with the DOHMH Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.
Consumers can look up inspection results for any NYC restaurant through the DOHMH restaurant inspection database, which is updated regularly as new inspection data becomes available.
