Score
Alvo Corporation has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. Alvo Corporation was last inspected on Feb 26, 2020. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. The file hasn't been updated since Feb 26, 2020, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around four violations across recent inspections versus roughly 16 violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “warewashing facilities”, showing up three 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.
