Low Risk

The health department has logged eight inspections at Zberry, the earliest from 2011. The most recent visit was on Oct 19, 2016. 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 19, 2016, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.

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

By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Zberry on the weaker side. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
