High Risk

The health department has logged four inspections at Subway, the earliest from 2022. The most recent visit was on Sep 19, 2024. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.

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

“Nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.

The city-wide average sits at 77, which Subway's 45 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
