Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

Inspectors have visited Blvd Bistro three times, with records going back to 2022. On Mar 12, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

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

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

Compared to other Manhattan restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
