# How to read a New York restaurant inspection record

> Inspections and re-inspections, critical violations, “not corrected”, items, and the earlier businesses at an address.

## How to read these records

### Inspection and re-inspection

An inspection is the routine visit; a re-inspection checks that violations found earlier were fixed.

### Critical violations

A critical violation is one that can directly cause foodborne illness (temperatures, contamination,
hand washing). “Not corrected” means it was not fixed during the visit.

### Items

The item codes are those of the State Sanitary Code (Subpart 14-1); the record shows the most recent
critical violation in full.

### Earlier businesses at this address

Read from the State file of closed (inactive) establishments, matched on street address and ZIP code.
A match on address is a strong hint, not proof that two businesses used the same premises.

### What is not here

New York City. Operator names, which this site never downloads. Inspection comments.

smartphone on a wearable mount, with consent and under contract.
