58
Score
Going back to 2015, Cochan Volant has seven inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Feb 13, 2019. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. Cochan Volant's record stops at Feb 13, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around five violations each, up from closer to one violation before.
The pattern that stands out is “management, food employee and conditional employee”, which has been cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
