N.Y. Restaurants Sue Over City’s Health Inspections

New York City was sued by the owners of 40 restaurants in the Bronx accusing health inspectors of levying excessive fines to raise revenue and driving eateries out of business.
The restaurant owners say the inspectors haven’t been properly trained, which causes them to enforce the health code differently and violates the owners’ right to due process under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, according to the complaint filed today in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
