Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

The health department has logged three inspections at Baya Bar, the earliest from 2024. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 22, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Compared to the prior visit, the count dropped from six violations to four.

The pattern that stands out is anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided, which has been cited three times.

Compared to the broader Manhattan restaurant scene, this is about average. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
