There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “thermometers provided & accurate” has been the most frequent reason, cited seven times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Dunkin Donuts' 78 doesn't quite reach. The record reflects steady performance over time.
