One of New York City's most expensive restaurants received a "C" grade from the city's health department last month, 10News.com reported.

Per Se, a fancy eatery located in Manhattan and recently ranked 49 on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat, received 42 violation points when it was inspected on Feb. 19, according to department records. 

Violations included dirty wiping cloths, lack of soap or hand-washing facility near the food prep, and failure to store certain foods at the correct temperatures. 

The department inspectors hand out an "A" for 0 to 13 points, a "B" for 14 to 27 points, and a "C" for 28 or more. The health department said 87 percent of the city's restaurants have "A" grades.

However, the records show Per Se -- which offers a prix-fixe dinner at $310 before tax and tip -- has a "grade pending," which usually means the restaurant plan to argue over their grade at an administrative tribunal. 

On Tuesday, the restaurant did not respond for comment to NBC News.

According to NBC, Per Se received an "A" grade in 2013 with a total of 7 violation points.
