Low Risk

Fefe Fast Food has been inspected five times since 2011. On Jul 13, 2012, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Fefe Fast Food's record stops at Jul 13, 2012, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to four violations per visit.

Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
