The health department has logged 19 inspections at Subway Sandwich Store, the earliest from 2010. On Jan 14, 2022, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Jan 14, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near two violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
