Low Risk NYC Grade: A

The Barbecue Pit has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. On Jun 5, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues.

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

When inspectors have written things up, non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Bronx restaurants. The record reflects steady performance over time.
