Low Risk

The health department has logged seven inspections at Subway, the earliest from 2011. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 29, 2016. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Public records show no inspections at Subway since Apr 29, 2016, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near two violations per visit.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, showing up two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. The record reflects steady performance over time.
