Score
Sutherlands appears in inspection records 18 times, starting in 2011. Sutherlands was last inspected on Apr 29, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around six violations to closer to one violation per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Sutherlands on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
