Subway
Last inspected: Jan 19, 2023
64
Score
Subway appears in inspection records 28 times, starting in 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 19, 2023. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. The most recent inspection at Subway is from Jan 19, 2023, and nothing newer appears in the public record.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around three violations to closer to seven violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited eight times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Subway's 64 doesn't quite reach. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
