Medium Risk

Public records show three inspections at Chili stretching back to 2024. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 30, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near seven violations per visit across recent inspections.

“Evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.

Compared to other Manhattan restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
