Reply to comment by Spacepirateroberts in New York City health inspectors issued a disproportionate number of citations to restaurants serving Asian cuisine in the early months of 2020, finds a new study by a team of researchers by thebelsnickle1991
NYC went hardcore with it I believe under Bloomberg when a video of rats crawling all over a closed restraint that someone shot through the windows went viral on national news.
It’s positive and negative, honestly. I mean New York is a HUGE, densely populated, and objectively filthy city with a massive rat and roach problem. Even having been on the wrong end of brutal DOH violations and fines, and even though I think a lot of their rules are absurd and are clearly there to milk money, I think their hardline stance is a net positive.

Wow yeah, the famous Taco Bell rats, which would go on to be referenced in a beastie boys song. I believe the letter grading system got started right after that.

That honestly makes a lot of sense, a dirty restaurant here could maaaaaybe get 50-100 people sick in a day. In huge cities being way more stringent makes sense as a whole lot more people can be affected.
