Last year the Department of Consumer Affairs performed a supermarket sweep that found a disturbingly low level of compliance with rules across the city. Nearly a third of the time DCA inspectors were overcharged and 370 of 650 stores inspected got at least one summons. But which were the bad stores? The DCA only gave out neighborhoods, not stores. And now we know why.

The Post filed a Freedom of Information request and got so the DCA has released a list of the 25 offenders that racked up the highest fines in 2010. And fans of the Brooklyn Fairway and the Columbus Circle Whole Foods (don't call it Whole Paycheck) will be unhappy to know those two stars in the grocery firmament are included. Fairway earned $3,100 in fines for overcharging and item pricing while Whole Foods had to pay up $2,900 in fines of its own (here's some more on their issues).

At the top of the list was the Pioneer market in Fort Greene, which earned $11,460 in summonses and five violations (some for multiple infractions like improper labeling and overcharging) over two visits.

Interestingly, 17 of the top 25 stores cited in the past year were in Brooklyn while none were in Queens. And that isn't because they just checked Brooklyn spots—inspectors looked at 298 stores in Kings County and 255 in Queens.
