Trump’s Chicago Hotel Restaurants Failed December Inspections Before Passing Reinspection

Newly surfaced city records describe wastewater, flies and equipment problems that were largely corrected within a week.

Overview

  • Chicago health records show Dec. 17 inspections at the Trump International Hotel cited the main kitchen and rooftop restaurant for unsanitary conditions.
  • Violations included wastewater flooding from prep sinks, a dishwasher that was not sanitizing, small flies in bar and dish areas, a cracked ice-machine lid and debris buildup.
  • On Dec. 23, a reinspection issued passing grades for both areas, with the cracked ice-machine lid still flagged for repair or replacement.
  • Other parts of the property, including a banquet room and a lounge, received passing grades during the December checks.
  • Reports note similar 2025 issues at Trump properties in Westchester, N.Y., and Bedminster, N.J., where a low score was later revised upward, and The Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment on the Chicago findings.
