Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Dec 3, 2014, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Sharky's's record stops at Dec 3, 2014, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 10 violations each, up from closer to two violations before.

“Food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Sharky's 61 doesn't quite reach. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
