High Risk

Arbor has been inspected six times since 2015. On Oct 24, 2019, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well. Arbor's record stops at Oct 24, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around nine violations per visit versus roughly two violations earlier in the record.

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

Arbor's latest score of 50 falls below the Chicago average of 81. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
