Bubby’s Closed: Rats and Roaches Just Weeks Ago

While we’re still waiting to hear the final vermin count on Bubby’s, the beloved Tribeca joint that the DOH unceremoniously shut down this morning, owner Ron Silver has appeared in Eater’s comments, revealing that the final, fatal inspection was due to a neighborhood complaint; he also calls bullshit on something regarding an open-can count. Right, right — there are always these nitpicky problems. But was there something more? We decided to take a look at their last inspection, which was October 25, wherein they racked up an impressive 43 violation points. We can’t say how many of the previous wrongs have since been righted, but we hope they had at least cleaned up that roach problem in the past few weeks.
