Score
Subway has been inspected 11 times since 2014. Subway was last inspected on Jan 12, 2021. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Subway's record stops at Jan 12, 2021, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near three violations each time.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The record reflects steady performance over time.
