In Far Rockaway and the 5 towns there is ONE VAAD, There has been disputes over this as the people in the 5 towns are more modern and the people in Far Rockaway are more Charedi, but it seems some sort of compromise has mostly been worked out to get one Hasghcha for everyone and avoid the issues that have occured in Brooklyn.
However there is a Rabbi in Far Rockaway who refuses to abide by the rules set by the community standards (Which one is required to follow) and makes “His own list” that he charges the restaurants to be on.
