Counted over Oct 13, 2025 to Oct 13, 2026. Inspection volume moves with the city's own scheduling, so a rise here is not necessarily a decline in standards.

Section numbers moved in 2018. Chicago renumbered its food code that July, so the same section number means something different in older inspections. Everything on this page is drawn from the last year only.
