Brooklyn, NY — Table 87, a pizza restaurant located at 850 3rd Avenue in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, received a score of 24 following a health inspection conducted by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on April 7, 2026. The score places the restaurant in the Grade B range and falls near the upper boundary, three points below the Grade C threshold of 28. Inspection data was released by DOHMH on April 9, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented one non-critical violation during the April visit:

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

No critical violations were cited during the inspection. While the single violation is classified as non-critical, Code 08A is a weighted violation that can carry a significant point value under DOHMH scoring guidelines, contributing substantially to the restaurant's total score of 24.

Food Safety Context

Pest harborage conditions are regulated under NYC Health Code Article 81, which sets standards for food protection, facility maintenance, and pest control. The FDA Food Code similarly requires that food establishments be maintained in a manner that prevents conditions favorable to pest activity. Code 08A violations may involve structural gaps, improper waste storage, clutter, or other environmental factors that inspectors determine could attract or shelter pests.

A score of 24 is notable within the Grade B range. The B grade spans scores from 14 to 27, and a score of 24 sits in the upper portion of that band. Restaurants that score 28 or higher receive a Grade C. The proximity to that threshold can be relevant context for consumers reviewing inspection results.

Inspection History

Table 87 has been inspected multiple times in recent years. Its prior record shows a pattern of Grade A performance before the current result:

  • April 7, 2026: Score 24 (Grade B)
  • February 12, 2026: Score 24
  • October 2, 2024: Score 12 (Grade A)
  • March 22, 2023: Score 13 (Grade A)
  • March 9, 2023: Score 15
  • January 5, 2022: Score 5 (Grade A)
  • November 8, 2021: Score 19

The February 2026 inspection also resulted in a score of 24, indicating the Grade B result was not an isolated occurrence. Prior to 2026, the restaurant consistently achieved Grade A scores, including a score of 5 in January 2022, one of its strongest recorded results.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

DOHMH assigns letter grades based on inspection scores under the following ranges:

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

Lower scores reflect fewer or less severe violations. Restaurants that do not receive an A on their initial inspection are typically re-inspected, and the resulting grade is posted publicly. All inspection records are available through the DOHMH Restaurant Inspection Results database at nyc.gov/health.

Consumers can look up any restaurant's full inspection history, including violation details and grade postings, through the city's public records portal.
