New York City, NY - Health department officials identified compliance problems at Scruffy Duffy'S during an inspection on 07/22/2025.
The dining establishment functions from 639 10 Avenue Manhattan Ny in Hell's Kitchen, a well-trafficked section of New York City recognized for its restaurant culture.
Health department documentation states: "06d. Food contact surface not properly washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any activity when contamination may have occurred. (critical: critical). 10f. Non-food contact surface." Such infractions require correction to meet regulatory standards.
The inspection identified violations related to sanitation, an important area of food safety.
Public health authorities continually highlight the fundamental significance of comprehensive sanitation practices. Studies from public health organizations show that The FDA Food Code establishes comprehensive sanitation requirements that form the foundation of safe food service operations. The Food Safety Modernization Act offers detailed requirements for maintaining compliance.
These compliance issues require correction to maintain proper standards for the restaurant and public health. Food safety professionals indicate that addressing non-compliance helps ensure customer safety standards.
Health department officials will conduct a comprehensive re-inspection to ensure that all violations have been properly addressed. The establishment must demonstrate full compliance before the matter can be considered resolved.
The broader restaurant industry can learn valuable lessons from such cases, emphasizing the need for continuous vigilance to food safety standards. Consumer awareness remains a crucial component in maintaining community food safety.
