Brooklyn, NY — Greenpoint Original Pizza, located at 93 Norman Avenue in the Greenpoint neighborhood, received a score of 26 following a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection conducted on April 6, 2026. The score falls within the Grade B range but sits near the upper boundary, two points from the Grade C threshold. Inspection data was released by DOHMH on April 9, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors cited four non-critical violations during the April visit. No critical violations were recorded.

The violations documented include:

  • Failure to post the current letter grade or Grade Pending card in a visible location, as required
  • Non-food contact surfaces or equipment found to be made of unacceptable material, not kept clean, or not properly sealed or spaced to allow for cleaning
  • Conditions identified as conducive to harborage by rodents, insects, or other pests
  • Absence of anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention devices where required, or improper drainage of equipment or floors

While none of the violations were classified as critical, the combination of pest harborage conditions and drainage deficiencies represents areas that, if left unaddressed, can contribute to more serious food safety concerns over time.

Food Safety Context

NYC Health Code Article 81 governs food service establishment standards in New York City and requires restaurants to maintain sanitary conditions across all areas of operation, including non-food contact surfaces, pest control, and plumbing systems. The FDA Food Code, which informs local regulations, similarly identifies pest harborage conditions and drainage deficiencies as areas warranting correction.

A score of 26 is technically within the Grade B range, but it reflects a level of violation activity that inspectors considered significant enough to document across four categories. Establishments are encouraged to address all cited conditions before follow-up inspections.

Inspection History

Greenpoint Original Pizza's recent inspection record shows a pattern of elevated scores over the past several inspection cycles:

  • February 7, 2024: Score 10 (Grade A)
  • August 19, 2025: Score 59
  • October 1, 2025: Score 47 (Grade C)
  • December 18, 2025: Score 37
  • April 6, 2026: Score 26 (Grade B)

The establishment received a Grade A as recently as February 2024. Scores climbed significantly through the latter half of 2025 before declining with the most recent inspection. The April 2026 result marks improvement from the prior two inspections, though the score remains in the upper portion of the Grade B range.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

DOHMH assigns letter grades to restaurants based on inspection scores:

  • Grade A: 0–13 points (lowest level of violations)
  • Grade B: 14–27 points
  • Grade C: 28 or more points

Lower scores reflect fewer or less severe violations. Grades must be posted at the entrance of the establishment so that diners can review them before entering.
