Score
Across the available record, Granero has six inspections on file, the first dated 2011. Granero was last inspected on Jun 5, 2019. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Note that Granero's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jun 5, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 10 violations each, up from closer to two violations before.
Looking across the full record, “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
Granero's latest score of 58 falls below the Chicago average of 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
