InspectFL reorganizes public DBPR inspection records into a page you can actually scan. When exact inspector notes are available, they appear inline. Otherwise, the page falls back to violation categories plus the official DBPR record.
- โขInspector notes appear inline when available.
- โขThe official DBPR inspection timeline still stays visible, even on pages with zero violations or zero inspector notes.
