Score
Wood appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2012. The latest inspection on file is from Oct 31, 2017. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 31, 2017, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited six times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. The record reflects steady performance over time.
