Medium Risk

Public records show 16 inspections at La Cecina # 1 stretching back to 2014. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 25, 2019. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. No fresh inspection data is available: the latest entry for La Cecina # 1 dates to Nov 25, 2019.
