Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Public records currently show only two inspections for Mr. Lee's. The newest entry in the record is dated Jun 23, 2023. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Jun 23, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Brooklyn restaurant scores 77. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
