Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Public records show five inspections at Subway stretching back to 2024. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 3, 2026. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food”, which has been cited four times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Bronx restaurants. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
