Dunkin Donuts appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Jun 9, 2016. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. No fresh inspection data is available: the latest entry for Dunkin Donuts dates to Jun 9, 2016.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
