Low Risk

Public House 28 has been inspected five times since 2024. The most recent report on file is from Oct 29, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

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

The pattern that stands out is “physical facilities installed, maintained, and clean”, which has been cited three times.

The city-wide average sits at 90, which Public House 28's 86 doesn't quite reach. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
