Low Risk NYC Grade: A

The Whitby Hotel has been inspected three times since 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 11, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

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

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.

Compared to the broader Manhattan restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
