NEW YORK - AUGUST 14: A woman shops at a Fairway grocery store August 14, 2008 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. A new government report has shown that U.S. inflation has risen to a 17-year-high annual rate in July, led by gains in energy, food, airline fares and apparel. Consumer prices rose by 0.8 per cent in July, which means that the cost of living in America is rising at a rate of 5.6 per cent over the year as a whole. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Many Brooklyn grocery stores and bodegas are plagued with rats, mice, roaches and grime, and might even pose a health risk, state data show.

Patch has pulled together information on grocery store inspections across New York state to create our exclusive interactive map, culled from public data supplied by the state's Department of Agriculture and Markets. Unlike restaurants, whose inspection grades from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene are famously hung in establishment windows, this data is only available if you request it from the state.
