Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

The health department has logged four inspections at Yopcity, the earliest from 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated May 8, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

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

“Anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.

Compared to other Bronx restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
