Medium Risk

The health department has logged 16 inspections at Stanley's Restaurant, the earliest from 2011. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 14, 2017. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The most recent inspection at Stanley's Restaurant is from Sep 14, 2017, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around seven violations per visit versus roughly four violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited 13 times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
