Queens, NY — Kid's Fun House, located at 62-69 Fresh Pond Road in Queens, received a Grade B following a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection conducted March 27, 2026. The restaurant scored 24 points, placing it near the upper boundary of the B range and within four points of a Grade C designation. Inspection data was released by DOHMH on March 30, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented two non-critical violations during the March visit. No critical violations were identified.

The first violation, cited under Code 10F, involved non-food contact surfaces or equipment made of unacceptable material, not kept clean, or not properly sealed, raised, spaced, or movable to allow adequate cleaning on all sides, above, and underneath the unit. This type of violation typically relates to the physical condition and accessibility of equipment surfaces in the kitchen environment.

The second violation, cited under Code 10G, involved deficiencies in dishwashing and ware washing procedures — specifically the cleaning and sanitizing of tableware, including dishes, utensils, and equipment. Proper sanitization of tableware is a standard requirement intended to prevent cross-contamination between service cycles.

While neither violation was classified as critical, the combined point total of 24 places the score at the higher end of the Grade B band.

Food Safety Context

Under NYC Health Code Article 81, restaurants are subject to unannounced inspections by DOHMH. Each violation carries a point value, and final scores determine the letter grade posted publicly at the establishment. The FDA Food Code, which informs New York City's inspection standards, distinguishes between critical violations — those directly linked to foodborne illness risk — and non-critical violations, which relate to general sanitation and equipment standards.

A score of 24 falls within the Grade B range (14–27 points). At 28 points or above, a restaurant would receive a Grade C. The proximity of this score to that threshold is notable given the restaurant's prior inspection record.

Inspection History

Kid's Fun House has maintained a consistent Grade A record in recent years:

  • 2024-06-25: Score 6 (Grade A)
  • 2022-10-27: Score 5 (Grade A)
  • 2021-07-21: Score 10 (Grade A)

The March 2026 score of 24 represents a significant increase from the restaurant's previous inspections, all of which fell comfortably within Grade A territory. The jump from a score of 6 in June 2024 to 24 in March 2026 reflects a notable change in inspection outcomes, though the underlying causes are not specified in the public record.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City's restaurant grading system is based on the total number of points assessed during an inspection:

  • A: 0–13 points
  • B: 14–27 points
  • C: 28 or more points

Grades must be posted at the entrance of the restaurant and are updated following each inspection cycle. Restaurants that receive a B or C on an initial inspection may request a re-inspection before a grade is finalized.
