New Grading Rules & Workshops for Mobile Food Vendors
Beginning this winter, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) will launch a letter grading program for mobile food carts and trucks. All mobile food vendors will be affected. This new grading program will closely resemble restaurant grading and must be posted on the permit decal on each cart and truck. The grading program will be rolled out over a two-year period, as permits are renewed and units get inspected. To help vendors learn about the new letter grading rules, workshops will be held starting in December and will continue throughout the two year roll-out period.

Package Theft Prevention Tips
During the holiday season, many New Yorkers order or receive packages at a higher frequency. To avoid package theft, the
NYPD recommends New Yorkers
check shipping carrier options to help safeguard deliveries. Most carriers allow options to leave your delivery with a neighbor, designated areas, or even lockers at retail stores.
