Score
Subway appears in inspection records seven times, starting in 2010. The most recent visit was on Jul 21, 2014. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Jul 21, 2014, so take the current picture with that in mind.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “premises maintained free of litter” is the recurring theme, flagged six 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.
