Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 24, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to six violations per visit.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F”, showing up two times.

That's lower than the typical Bronx restaurant, which scores around 77. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
