Subway has been inspected five times since 2010. Subway was last inspected on May 24, 2012. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since May 24, 2012, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around five violations each.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” comes up most often, recorded four times in the inspection record.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
