Pooling Wastewater, Flies And More At Trump Hotel In Chicago: Report

CHICAGO — Inspectors at Chicago’s Trump International Hotel recently found pooling wastewater in the kitchen and no soap in the employee bathroom, the Daily Beast reported.

The December 2025 visit yielded reports of wastewater pooling on the main kitchen floor, a dishwasher failing to sanitize dishes, flies in a rooftop bar and dish area, a cracked ice machine lid, debris in prep coolers and multiple food handlers without gloves, according to the Daily Beast.

When inspectors returned six days after citations were issued, the kitchen areas met health standards, but this isn’t the first time a Trump property has had health complaints in the last year, the outlet reported.

President Donald Trump’s golf club in Westchester County, New York, was revealed in November to have rodents, insects and more, while his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf course in May was flagged for 18 health code violations, according to the Daily Beast.

Also last May, the operator of Chicago’s Trump Tower agreed to a $4.8 million settlement in the wake of allegations that its water intake system illegally killed thousands of fish, sucking them in from the Chicago River over years, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
