Score
The Boiler Room appears in inspection records 21 times, starting in 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 29, 2022. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Note that The Boiler Room's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jul 29, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around four violations across recent inspections versus roughly seven violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” has been the most frequent reason, cited 13 times.
Among Chicago restaurants, the typical score is 81; The Boiler Room is comfortably above that bar. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
