The inspection, conducted on September 9, 2024, documented one non-critical violation related to drainage and sewage disposal. The inspection data was released by DOHMH on March 4, 2026.
What Inspectors Found
During the inspection, DOHMH inspectors cited one non-critical violation at the establishment:
Drainage and sewage disposal deficiencies: Inspectors documented that anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention devices were not provided where required. Additionally, equipment or floors were not properly drained, and the sewage disposal system was found to be in disrepair or not functioning properly. Condensation or liquid waste was noted as being improperly disposed of.
This violation falls under NYC Health Code violation code 10B, which addresses plumbing and waste disposal infrastructure in food service establishments. While categorized as a non-critical violation, the score of 78 points indicates that the overall conditions at the time of inspection were significantly below the standards required by the city.
It should be noted that while only one violation category was recorded in the available data, a score of 78 suggests that multiple condition-level findings may have contributed to the total point assessment during the inspection. DOHMH assigns point values based on the severity and scope of each condition observed, and a single violation code can encompass several related findings within the establishment.
Food Safety Context
NYC Health Code Article 81 establishes the regulatory framework for food service establishments operating within the five boroughs. Under this code, all restaurants are subject to unannounced inspections by DOHMH, during which inspectors evaluate food handling, temperature control, personal hygiene, facility maintenance, and pest activity, among other areas.
Proper drainage and sewage disposal are fundamental requirements under both the NYC Health Code and the FDA Food Code. Back-flow prevention devices are required to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. When sewage disposal systems are in disrepair, they can create conditions that compromise sanitary standards within the establishment.
The FDA Food Code specifies that plumbing systems must be maintained to prevent contamination of food, food-contact surfaces, and food preparation areas. Improper disposal of condensation or liquid waste can contribute to unsanitary conditions and potential cross-contamination.
Inspection History
No prior inspection history is available for Lundy's Of Brooklyn in the current DOHMH dataset. This means either the establishment was inspected for the first time during this cycle, or earlier records are not included in the publicly available data.
Without historical data, it is not possible to identify trends in the restaurant's compliance record or determine whether the conditions observed represent a new development or a recurring issue.
Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades
New York City assigns letter grades to restaurants based on the total number of violation points accumulated during an inspection. The grading scale is as follows:
Grade A: 0 to 13 points — the establishment meets or exceeds health standards
Grade B: 14 to 27 points — some violations were identified but conditions are generally acceptable
Grade C: 28 or more points — significant violations were documented
With a score of 78, Lundy's Of Brooklyn falls into the Grade C range, which is the lowest letter grade assigned under the current system. Restaurants that receive a Grade C have the option to request a re-inspection or contest the findings through an administrative tribunal hearing at the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.
Restaurants are required to post their letter grade in a conspicuous location near the entrance so that consumers can make informed decisions before dining.
Public Resources
Consumers can look up inspection results for any restaurant in New York City through the DOHMH restaurant inspection database, which is publicly accessible online. The database provides current and historical inspection scores, violation details, and grade information for all inspected establishments.
Diners with specific concerns about conditions at any food service establishment can contact DOHMH by calling 311 or filing a complaint through the NYC 311 website.
