A seasoned artists and repertoire representative, Jelani “Lani” Wray serves as a music production manager at Humble King Records. In addition to talent scouting, Jelani Wray operates a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. In 2015, Wray’s Caribbean and Seafood Cuisine was graded “A” by the NYC Health Department for complying with the city’s food safety regulations.
Since 2010, the NYC Health Department has conducted regular and surprise inspections of New York City’s restaurants to ensure that they comply with the state and city food safety regulations. After the inspection, the restaurants must display their grade cards in conspicuous places in the restaurants for the public to see.
The grades are represented by letters. An “A” represents scores from 0 to 13, “B” for scores from 14 to 27, and “C” for scores above 27. Restaurants are graded based on how well they comply with regulations on food handling, food temperature, personal hygiene, and facility and equipment maintenance.
Violations are weighted with points on three categories: public health hazard, critical violation, and general violation. Each violation corresponds to points. A public health hazard earns at least 7 points. A critical violation gets at least 5 points. A general violation receives at least 2 points. The sum of the points represents the restaurant’s inspection score. A lower score means a better grade.
