Queens, NY — Jennyy's Bakery Deli Corp, located at 171-07 Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica, received a Grade B with a score of 27 during a health inspection conducted on December 22, 2025. The score places the bakery at the very top of the Grade B range, just one point below the 28-point threshold that would result in a Grade C.

The inspection data was released by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on March 6, 2026, approximately two and a half months after the inspection took place.

What Inspectors Found

During the inspection, DOHMH inspectors cited one non-critical violation at the bakery and dessert establishment. No critical violations were documented.

The violation identified was related to dishwashing and ware washing practices. Inspectors noted that the cleaning and sanitizing of tableware — including dishes, utensils, and equipment — was deficient. This type of violation indicates that the establishment's procedures for ensuring that food-contact surfaces are properly cleaned and sanitized did not meet required standards at the time of inspection.

While the violation was classified as non-critical, the total score of 27 points reflects the highest possible score a restaurant can receive while still maintaining a Grade B designation.

Food Safety Context

Proper cleaning and sanitizing of food-contact surfaces is a fundamental requirement under both NYC Health Code Article 81 and the FDA Food Code. These regulations require that all utensils, dishes, and equipment that come into contact with food must be washed, rinsed, and sanitized using approved methods to prevent the potential transmission of foodborne illness.

Ware washing deficiencies can involve issues such as improper water temperature, insufficient sanitizer concentration, or equipment that is not functioning correctly. The NYC Health Code specifies that sanitizing must be achieved through either hot water at a minimum temperature or chemical sanitizing solutions at proper concentrations.

A score of 27 is notable because it sits at the boundary between Grade B and Grade C. Any additional violation points during a future inspection could push the establishment into Grade C territory, which can trigger additional re-inspection requirements.

Inspection History

No prior inspection history is available for Jennyy's Bakery Deli Corp in the DOHMH database. The December 2025 inspection represents the first recorded inspection for this establishment in the publicly available data.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City assigns letter grades to restaurants based on the total number of violation points documented during an inspection. Fewer points indicate fewer or less serious violations:

  • A: 0–13 points — The restaurant is in substantial compliance with food safety requirements
  • B: 14–27 points — The restaurant has one or more violations that need to be addressed
  • C: 28 or more points — The restaurant has significant violations requiring corrective action

Jennyy's Bakery Deli Corp's score of 27 falls within the Grade B range but represents the maximum score possible before a Grade C designation.

Residents can look up inspection results for any NYC restaurant through the DOHMH restaurant inspection database, which is publicly accessible online. Inspection scores, violation details, and grade histories are updated as new data becomes available from the department.
