There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent report on file is from May 3, 2012. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. The file hasn't been updated since May 3, 2012, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 12 violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Wild Hare on the better side of that line. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
