Queens, NY — Partake, a fusion restaurant located at 10-29 44 Road in Long Island City, received a Grade B following a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection conducted on March 25, 2026. The restaurant scored 22 points, placing it near the upper boundary of the B range, which runs from 14 to 27 points. Inspection data was released by DOHMH on March 27, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors identified one non-critical violation during the March visit:

  • Code 08A: The establishment was found not to be free of harborage or conditions conducive to rodents, insects, or other pests.

No critical violations were cited. While the single violation did not rise to the critical level, Code 08A is a commonly weighted item under NYC Health Code Article 81, as conditions conducive to pest activity can have downstream implications for food safety if left unaddressed. The violation contributed to a score that, while still within the Grade B range, sits closer to the Grade C threshold than to the Grade A cutoff.

Food Safety Context

Under NYC Health Code Article 81 and aligned with FDA Food Code standards, restaurants are inspected on an unannounced basis at least once per year. Each violation carries a point value; lower scores reflect better compliance. A score of 22 falls within the passing range for a Grade B but leaves limited margin before crossing into Grade C territory, which begins at 28 points.

Pest harborage conditions, classified under Code 08A, relate to structural or environmental factors that may attract or shelter pests. This can include gaps in walls or flooring, improper storage of goods, or accumulation of debris. Addressing such conditions is a standard requirement under Article 81, which governs food service establishment sanitation in New York City.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City assigns letter grades to restaurants based on their inspection scores:

  • Grade A: 0 to 13 points — indicates a high level of sanitary compliance
  • Grade B: 14 to 27 points — indicates generally acceptable conditions with noted violations
  • Grade C: 28 or more points — indicates more significant sanitary concerns

Grades are required to be posted in a visible location at the restaurant entrance. Consumers can look up full inspection records through the DOHMH restaurant inspection search tool at nyc.gov/health.

Partake's score of 22 falls within the Grade B range but is positioned in the upper portion of that band, meaning a relatively small increase in violations at a future inspection could result in a lower grade. Restaurants that score in the B range are typically re-inspected within a set timeframe to assess whether conditions have improved.
