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.
- •This page still shows the official DBPR violation record, even when inspector note text has not been imported yet.
- •The official DBPR inspection timeline still stays visible, even on pages with zero violations or zero imported notes.
