Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Dunkin appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2023. On Mar 9, 2026, 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.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to four violations.

The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, which has been cited three times.

That's lower than the typical Queens restaurant, which scores around 75. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
