New York City, NY - City health officials cited Sushi W for health violations during an inspection on 07/29/2025.
Located in the heart of East Village, Sushi W operates from a prominent location at 506 East 13 Street, making it easily accessible to area customers.
The inspection details: "06c. Food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source of contamination during storage, preparation, transportation, display, service or from customer’s refillable, reusable container." These circumstances require correction according to industry standards.
Health department officials noted violations related to pest control, which require attention for public health compliance.
Food safety professionals regularly stress the essential nature of adequate pest control procedures. As outlined in HACCP Prevention Guidelines, Federal food safety regulations require all food service establishments to maintain comprehensive pest exclusion programs. These federal guidelines guarantee that restaurants adhere to strict health requirements.
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 FDA Sanitation Standards clearly states that Federal regulators use FDA sanitation guidelines as the benchmark for evaluating food service establishment compliance.
The implications extend to broader community food safety standards. Health department data shows that correction of violations helps maintain community health standards.
City health officials have required that Sushi W 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.
