Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Benny's Brick Oven appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 20, 2024. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “cold TCS food item held above 41 °F”, showing up two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Brooklyn restaurant scores 77. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
