DBPR source + data confidenceWhat’s powering this page

Otherwise, the page falls back to violation categories plus the official DBPR record.
- •Inspector notes appear inline when available.
- •The official DBPR inspection timeline still stays visible, even on pages with zero violations or zero inspector notes.
