Score
Low Risk

Lazzat appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2013. The latest inspection on file is from Feb 9, 2015. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Lazzat's record stops at Feb 9, 2015, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to four violations.
