Score
KFC appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2012. On Jan 27, 2017, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. KFC's record stops at Jan 27, 2017, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
Across the inspection history, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded eight times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so KFC trails the local norm. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
