Medium Risk

Torta Haus has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. Torta Haus was last inspected on Mar 16, 2016. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 16, 2016, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to three violations before.

Across the inspection history, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Torta Haus trails the local norm. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
