Is that a lot?
Too few food places here for ranges. Colours show points.
Most food places here got 10 to 24 point violations. Almar got more than most. That's from the last routine visit, on Jul 8, 2024.
Compared with 21,170 New York City food places. Each place's last routine inspection counts.
What was found out about Almar?
It's fair to care about this. Here's what the county found. Tap any item to see how a kitchen fixes it.

About this record
Search for the name on NYC Health's restaurant grades lookup.
Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
Zero points means the inspector found no problems. New York City adds points for each problem. Big ones, the kind most likely to make someone sick, add more.
Inspectors add points for each problem they find. 0 to 13 points is an A, 14 to 27 a B, 28 or more a C.
