New York City, NY - Health department officials identified compliance problems at Naya during an inspection on 07/23/2025.
The establishment operates from 225 Liberty Street in Financial District, a busy area of New York City known for its dining scene.
Inspectors documented: "10f. Non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material, not kept clean, or not properly sealed, raised, spaced or movable to allow accessibility for cleaning on all sides, above and." This finding indicates a need for compliance with established food safety protocols.
Among the findings were infractions involving sanitation, a key component of food safety protocols.
Industry experts consistently emphasize the critical importance of proper sanitation protocols. The Food Safety Modernization Act clearly states that The FDA Food Code establishes comprehensive sanitation requirements that form the foundation of safe food service operations.
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.
Regulatory authorities have scheduled an extensive follow-up review to confirm that every infraction has been adequately corrected. Management are required to show complete correction before these violations will be deemed closed.
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.
