Score
Going back to 2024, Subway has four inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Sep 30, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near five violations each time.
Looking across the full record, “hot and cold water available” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That's lower than the typical Albany restaurant, which scores around 86. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
