Score
Low Risk NYC Grade: A

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Jan 30, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Metropolitan Ballroom's record stops at Jan 30, 2024, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Among Brooklyn restaurants, the typical score is 77; Metropolitan Ballroom is comfortably above that bar. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
