Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

New Yee Li Restaurant appears in inspection records three times, starting in 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 29, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly nine violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source”, which has been cited three times.
