Score
Havana 86 has been inspected 12 times since 2022. On Apr 9, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 15 violations to closer to 10 violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “handwash sink not accessible for employee use”, which has been cited four times.
The city-wide average sits at 79, which Havana 86's 70 doesn't quite reach. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
