How to read what you find
Caution
Counts are not comparable across states
Six violations in a state that itemizes every observation can describe a cleaner kitchen than two violations in a state that reports only major findings.
Caution
A date matters more than a total
Some portals show a report from years ago because that is the most recent one on file. Check the inspection date before you draw a conclusion.
Caution
Critical beats numerous
Most codes separate risk-factor violations from housekeeping ones. One temperature violation carries more weight than five storage notes.
