Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Public records show three inspections at Claude stretching back to 2024. On Oct 9, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

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

The pattern that stands out is “food contact surface not properly washed”, which has been cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 77, which Claude's 70 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
