Score
Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Going back to 2023, Wendy's has six inspections in the public record. On Oct 27, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four 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 four times.

Wendy's latest score of 58 falls below the Staten Island average of 75. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
