High Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 14, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to 15 violations per visit.

By comparison, the average Fort Myers facility scores 80, putting Steam Subs on the weaker side. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
