Today the NYC Health Department and NYC Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito announced they are releasing for public comment new restaurant grading rules designed to reduce fines and provide additional educational resources to help restaurants maintain their high health standards and succeed throughout New York City.

Under the new rules, which include fixed penalties, restaurants will see a 25% reduction in fines, returning to pre-grading levels despite more frequent inspections. Restaurant owners will also have the opportunity to request a consultative, ungraded and penalty-free inspection to receive tailored advice about maintaining the best food safety practices at their establishment. This will help restaurants prepare for their next inspection and give them the information and tools to improve their chances to earn an A.

In addition to the reduced fines and penalty-free inspections, the collaboration between the Health Department and City Council will make the entire inspection process more transparent and inclusive of small business owners.

Read the full press releasehere.

Certified to Win: City’s Minority and Women-owned Businesses Turn Government Biz into Profits | NY Daily News:

Last year, New York City passed Local Law 1. The new law eliminates what had been a $1 million cap on the type of government contracts that count towards the city’s diversity goals.

That means minority and women-owned businesses can use their designation to compete for much bigger deals.

"The pool of contracts has gone from $400 million to $2 billion," Gregg Bishop, deputy commissioner, business development division at the city’s Department of Small Business Services (SBS), told the Daily News.

Since 2008, when the city launched its Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) program, the number of certified city businesses has ballooned from 700 to 3,764.

"We are committed to dramatically increasing that number," SBS Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer told the News.
