American
Last inspected: Mar 16, 2015
74
Score
Medium Risk

Subway has been inspected seven times since 2011. The most recent report on file is from Mar 16, 2015. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. Subway's record stops at Mar 16, 2015, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
