Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

The health department has logged three inspections at Sapps Uws, the earliest from 2023. The most recent visit was on Sep 17, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Things are looking better: the most recent inspection turned up two violations, compared to eight violations previously.

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

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
