Score
Medium Risk

Going back to 2010, Zed 451 has 17 inspections in the public record. On Feb 4, 2020, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Zed 451's record stops at Feb 4, 2020, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited eight times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Zed 451's 74 doesn't quite reach. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
