Going back to 2022, Stardust has seven inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Apr 28, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near nine violations per visit across recent inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “maintaining premises unnecessary items and litter”, showing up seven times.
