Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

The health department has logged four inspections at Patty Shop, the earliest from 2023. On Aug 22, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

“Establishment is not free of harborage or conditions” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.

Compared to other Brooklyn restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
