OATH Hearing Representation · NYC Restaurants

Do not walk into a hearing with an inspection report you have not fully challenged.

Grade A Rescue reviews the cited violations, the inspection narrative, corrective evidence, and hearing posture before the matter is presented. Where authorized, we represent restaurant clients at OATH and organize the file around the strongest defensible facts.

Violation review

Each citation is reviewed against the reported facts, inspection context, available evidence, and the specific condition that was documented.

Evidence package

Photos, invoices, service reports, affidavits, corrective actions, equipment records, and other supporting material are organized into a hearing-ready record.

Hearing preparation

We identify which issues can be challenged, which facts need clarification, and what the operator should expect on hearing day.

Case example

52 violation points at issue. 19 after the hearing.

One published Grade A Rescue client account describes a Brooklyn OATH matter where the case entered with 52 violation points and concluded with 19 points after review and challenges to assessed violations.

That is a specific case result, not a promise. Outcomes depend on the actual inspection, evidence, compliance history, and hearing determination.
