Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on Sep 24, 2024. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

The trend has been moving in the right direction: 10 violations last time, two this time.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
