Score
The health department has logged nine inspections at Hyatt House, the earliest from 2019. The most recent visit was on Nov 12, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around three violations to closer to six violations.
When inspectors have written things up, “allergen training as required” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Hyatt House is doing better than most peers. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
