Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Going back to 2023, The Jaguar has three inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Nov 14, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

When inspectors have written things up, food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
