Low Risk

The inspection history at 53rd Street Bicycle Center is still short, with only two visits logged. On Oct 22, 2013, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 22, 2013, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around one violation lately and about nine violations before that.

Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
