How these numbers are made
We count inspections (one business on one date) that include at least one citation in a category. Categories are assigned by rules matched to each agency's violation codes and inspector comments; in our hand-checked samples the rules agreed with a human reviewer on at least 98% of citations per category (see method notes). A citation is what the inspector recorded on that day; many are corrected on the spot or by the re-inspection. Agencies post some records late, so recent weeks can go up when the data is refreshed. We don't list business names on these public pages.
