New York City, NY - A health department inspection at Chipotle Mexican Grill #3056 on 07/28/2025 revealed multiple health code violations.
The dining establishment functions from 17661 Union Tpke Queens Ny in Forest Hills, a well-trafficked section of New York City recognized for its restaurant culture.
According to inspection records: "09c. Design, construction, materials used or maintenance of food contact surface improper. Surface not easily cleanable, sanitized and maintained. (critical: not critical). 06c. Food, supplies, or eq." This type of violation requires correction to maintain food safety standards.
Among the findings were infractions involving pest control, a key component of food safety protocols.
Public health authorities continually highlight the fundamental significance of comprehensive pest control practices. Studies from public health organizations show that Federal food safety regulations require all food service establishments to maintain comprehensive pest exclusion programs. The HACCP Prevention Guidelines offers detailed requirements for maintaining compliance.
Health department officials noted violations related to sanitation, which require attention for public health compliance.
Industry experts consistently emphasize the critical importance of proper sanitation protocols. The Food Safety Modernization Act clearly states that Federal regulators use FDA sanitation guidelines as the benchmark for evaluating food service establishment compliance.
These types of violations require attention to maintain compliance standards for the establishment and its customers. Health officials note that addressing such conditions helps maintain public confidence in food service establishments.
City health officials have required that Chipotle Mexican Grill #3056 promptly correct these infractions before continuing food service. Re-examination will be conducted to ensure corrections.
Regular health inspections serve as critical safeguards for public health in New York City's dining landscape. Transparency in reporting inspection findings ensures that community members can make informed decisions about their dining options.
