Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Carvel three times, with records going back to 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Sep 11, 2025. 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 five violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, showing up three times.

Compared to the broader Bronx restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
