Medium Risk

Going back to 2010, Sammy's has 13 inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Jul 20, 2015. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. The file hasn't been updated since Jul 20, 2015, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around seven violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.

Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged 13 times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Sammy's 67 doesn't quite reach. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
