What’s powering this page
InspectFL reorganizes public DBPR inspection records into a page you can actually scan. When imported inspector observations are available, they appear inline. Otherwise, the page falls back to violation categories plus the official DBPR record.
- •Imported DBPR observations appear directly inside inspection entries when available.
- •When note coverage is missing, the official violation record still stays visible.

Inspection History
Read the newest inspection first, then scan for patterns. Repeated high-priority findings matter more than one isolated bad day.
Inspector notes are being added across all restaurants. Some inspections may only show violation codes until notes are available.
- Disposition: Inspection Completed - No Further Action
