Score
Inspectors have visited Fast Foo's six times, with records going back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Aug 15, 2012. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about. Note that Fast Foo's's inspection history hasn't been updated since Aug 15, 2012; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited five times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Fast Foo's trails the local norm. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
