What the status means

Each restaurant gets a plain-language status from its latest inspection:
High Risk — serious concerns found
An emergency closure with no reopening on record · 3 or more High findings at the latest inspection · High findings on repeated recent inspections · a state penalty on record.
Some Concerns — follow-up may be required
1–2 High findings at the latest inspection · 6 or more total findings · 4 or more Medium findings
Good — no concerns found in this inspection
None of the conditions above at the latest inspection
No Recent Data — no inspection in the past 12 months
No inspection in the past 12 months
Also in Settings, under “How the status is calculated.”

In the app, tap any inspection to see its citations.

Reading citations

Each citation is an official DBPR finding, translated to plain language. Tap one to expand it:
›
The dot is the finding level (High, Medium, or Low) from DBPR’s official priority.
›
Chips show the official outcome. “Corrected on-site” means fixed during the visit.
›
The footer cites the official DBPR category code.

Emergency closures

When inspectors order a closure, it appears on the story with its reopening, if any:
STATED CONDITIONS FOR CLOSURE
Evidence of pests in the dry-storage area.
Emergency closures are DBPR orders to stop operating until conditions are corrected.
›
A closure from the past 12 months with no reopening on record shows as active.
