Score
Going back to 2010, Freshii has 21 inspections in the public record. Freshii was last inspected on Jan 3, 2020. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Freshii's record stops at Jan 3, 2020, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around four violations each.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged eight times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Freshii trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
