Score

Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

Paradise Sports Bar has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The most recent report on file is from Oct 21, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

The trend has been moving in the right direction: seven violations last time, six this time.

The pattern that stands out is food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Queens restaurant, which scores around 75. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
