Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Subway six times, with records going back to 2022. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

There hasn't been much movement either way: results have stayed near four violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material, which has been cited three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
