The inspection data was released by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on February 23, 2026.
What Inspectors Found
The most significant finding was evidence of mice or live mice in the establishment's food or non-food areas, cited under violation code 04L. Rodent activity in a food service environment poses direct risks to food safety, as mice can contaminate surfaces, food supplies, and preparation areas with pathogens.
Inspectors also documented repeated failures in food contact surface sanitation. Three separate citations were recorded under code 06D for food contact surfaces not being properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized after each use or following any activity when contamination may have occurred. This violation was noted multiple times, indicating a pattern across different areas or equipment within the kitchen.
Two citations were recorded under code 06C for food, supplies, or equipment not being protected from potential sources of contamination during storage, preparation, transportation, display, or service. This included condiments not being stored in single-service containers or dispensed directly by the vendor.
Additionally, two violations under code 06E noted that sanitized equipment or utensils, including in-use food dispensing utensils, were improperly used or stored — undermining the effectiveness of any sanitation procedures that had been performed.
Among the non-critical violations, inspectors cited conditions conducive to pests on two occasions under code 08A, noting the establishment was not free of harborage or conditions that attract rodents, insects, or other pests. This finding is consistent with the mouse activity documented during the same inspection.
The restaurant was also cited multiple times for failure to post required healthy eating information (code 20-08), missing choking first aid and alcohol and pregnancy warning signs (code 20-04), insufficient supply of single-use plastic straws (code 19-07), and improper handling of single-service articles (code 10H).
Food Safety Context
Under NYC Health Code Article 81, food service establishments are required to maintain sanitary conditions that prevent contamination of food and food contact surfaces. The FDA Food Code further establishes that food contact surfaces must be cleaned and sanitized at appropriate intervals to prevent the accumulation of pathogens.
Evidence of rodent activity is classified as a critical violation because mice can carry bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, contaminating food and surfaces they contact. The repeated citations for unsanitized food contact surfaces compound this risk, as contaminated surfaces that are not properly cleaned between uses can transfer harmful organisms to food served to customers.
The combination of pest activity and sanitation failures documented at this inspection represents multiple simultaneous breakdowns in the establishment's food safety controls.
Inspection History
No prior inspection history is available for Ut 47 Kitchen & Bar in the DOHMH database. This January 2026 inspection represents the first recorded inspection for this establishment at this location.
Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades
New York City assigns letter grades to restaurants based on the total violation points recorded during health inspections. Fewer points indicate fewer or less severe violations:
A: 0–13 points
B: 14–27 points
C: 28 or more points
With a score of 39, Ut 47 Kitchen & Bar fell into the Grade C range, indicating significant violations were identified. Restaurants receiving a Grade C may request a re-inspection to improve their score before the grade must be posted.
Consumers can look up inspection results for any New York City restaurant through the DOHMH restaurant inspection database, available online at the NYC Department of Health website.
