How the CleanNibble Score works

Florida does not grade restaurants. State inspectors record violations in three tiers: high priority, intermediate, and basic. The CleanNibble Score is our own summary of those counts from each place's most recent full state inspection. It is not an official grade.

Every place starts at 100. We subtract 6 points for each high priority violation, 3 for each intermediate violation, and 1 for each basic violation. If the state ordered an emergency closure at that inspection, the score is capped at 40. Letters: A is 90 and up, B is 80-89, C is 70-79, D is 60-69, F is below 60.

New York

New York inspectors record two kinds of violations: critical (the kind most likely to make people sick) and non-critical (cleaning, maintenance, and facility issues). For the CleanNibble Score we count each critical violation like a Florida high priority violation (6 points) and each non-critical violation like a basic violation (1 point). New York has no intermediate tier. In New York City, a Health Department closure at that inspection caps the score at 40.

New York City also gives restaurants an official letter grade (A is 0-13 inspection points, B is 14-27, C is 28 or more, and "Grade Pending" while a grade is being decided). When a place has one, we show it separately as the Official NYC grade, next to its date. It is the city's grade, not ours, and it can differ from the CleanNibble Score because the city uses its own point system and grades can lag the latest inspection.

New York State data covers restaurants inspected by the State Department of Health and the county health departments that report to it. Erie County (Buffalo) and Suffolk County run their own programs and are not included yet.

Each inspection is a snapshot of conditions at the time of the visit. On any given day, a place may have more or fewer violations than its most recent inspection shows, and one inspection may not reflect long-term conditions. Always check the official lookup for the latest details: Florida, New York City, or New York State.

About cuisine tags

Florida and New York State records do not list cuisine, so cuisine tags are approximate. In New York City we use the cuisine the Health Department has on file. We match each place to OpenStreetMap listings by name and location, and when there is no match we guess from words in the business name (for example "Pizzeria" or "Sushi"). Some places have no cuisine tag. They still show in normal searches, but not when a cuisine is picked. Tags can be wrong, so treat them as a guide.
