A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. Public records show no inspections at Marvin Restaurant since Jan 22, 2018, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around five violations to closer to eight violations.
The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited 17 times.
Marvin Restaurant's latest score of 64 falls below the Chicago average of 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
