Score
Low Risk

The health department has logged 39 inspections at Kevin's Hamburger Heaven, the earliest from 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Jun 2, 2023. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. The file hasn't been updated since Jun 2, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near one violation per visit across recent inspections.

Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 15 times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
