Score
Going back to 2010, A. P. Deli & Grill VIII has 18 inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Mar 12, 2019. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 12, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Violation counts have held steady across recent visits, averaging around four violations each.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged 12 times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
