Score
Sp Kebab has been inspected 14 times since 2010. Sp Kebab was last inspected on May 2, 2019. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Note that Sp Kebab's inspection history hasn't been updated since May 2, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 13 violations each, up from closer to four violations before.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded seven times.
Sp Kebab scores about where you'd expect for a Chicago restaurant. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
