Inspectors have visited Freshii 10 times, with records going back to 2014. The most recent visit was on Sep 11, 2018. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. The file hasn't been updated since Sep 11, 2018, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near seven violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged seven times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
