How Chicago grades restaurants

Chicago doesn’t give letter grades or scores. Each inspection is Pass, Pass with Conditions, or Fail.
Pass with Conditions means serious problems were found but fixed or corrected during the inspection.
Fail means violations serious enough that the business must be re-inspected, and it may be closed until it passes.

Severity levels

Critical Can directly make someone sick: food temperatures, contamination, pests, hand-washing.
General Cleanliness, maintenance and facility problems.
Paperwork Missing signs, permits or paperwork.
