Score
There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On May 12, 2023, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. The file hasn't been updated since May 12, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around 10 violations, down from roughly 15 violations earlier in the record.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded six times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Chyros trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
