Schiff reports inspection counts for FY24 through FY26
Schiff says DOHMH inspected almost 21,400 restaurants in FY26, almost 21,000 in FY25, and just over 20,000 in FY24. She attributes the increase to ongoing recruitment and training of new inspectors.
So how many inspections did you guys conduct in each of the last three fiscal years?
Do you have that?
So in FY26, we did almost 21,400.
Restaurants inspected, FY25 it was almost 21,000, and in FY24 just over 20,000.
So as you noted in your opening remarks, Chair, our recruitment efforts have been
rigorous and ongoing, and we are succeeding in bringing more inspectors on board, which is why you are seeing those numbers go up.
met a group of new inspectors in training, a nice big group.
So we are continuing to staff up.
I'm guessing that you don't have this with you, but if you can give us the number of the type of inspection, including the initial re-inspection compliance and complaint driven.
I don't have complaints, but I have FY26.
There were just over 16,000 initial inspections, almost 6,000 re-inspections, and just over 250 compliance inspections.
And that was up from the year before, 15,000 initial inspections.
Okay, great.
