The dataset contains current inspection data for cafeterias permitted in public, private, and parochial schools in NYC. Data for cafeterias that have ceased operations and any violations cited during the inspection that were dismissed during adjudication are excluded from this dataset. During COVID-19 public health emergency, Health Department inspections have followed a modified inspection protocol designed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission among inspectors and staff of facilities being inspected. As a result, there may be differences in the
data collected during this time period compared to data collected prior to March 2020.
