Score

High Risk

The inspection history at Tradewinds is still short, with only two visits logged. The latest inspection on file is from Dec 11, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around 12 violations per visit lately, up from roughly two violations before.

“No handwashing sign provided at a hand sink used” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

The city-wide average sits at 77, which Tradewinds' 39 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
