Score
Jamaica Jerk Villa has been inspected 23 times since 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 28, 2022. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Note that Jamaica Jerk Villa's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jan 28, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near 10 violations each time.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 17 times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
