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.
