Medium Risk

Going back to 2010, Forum 55 has 24 inspections in the public record. On Feb 24, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around 10 violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.

Looking across the full record, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” is the recurring theme, flagged 15 times.

By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Forum 55 on the weaker side. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
