NYC health department inspects Krausshaus for Brooklyn frozen dessert permit

Overview

Updated Nov 1

Krausshaus, a frozen dessert shop at 85 South 6th Street in Williamsburg, had its New York City health department pre-permit inspection on October 9, 2026. The inspection recorded 6 violations, including 2 critical ones, for a penalty score of 25. The shop is still listed as not yet graded.

Mato's event listing says Krausshaus held a soft opening from October 30 through November 1 and serves frozen desserts and shaved ice. Reports so far do not say whether the city has granted the food service permit or scheduled a follow-up inspection.

Why it matters

The pre-permit inspection decides whether Krausshaus can sell frozen desserts at its Brooklyn shop.

Possible Resolves by Jan 9, 2027
