Score
Across the available record, Be Leaf has 10 inspections on file, the first dated 2015. Be Leaf was last inspected on Aug 15, 2019. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Aug 15, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around five violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “food properly labeled” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Be Leaf's latest score of 100 sits above the Chicago average of 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
