With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Aug 6, 2024. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately and about 10 violations before that.

Looking across the full record, “food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.
