All of the restaurants were inspected at least twice; some were inspected additional times due to complaints or required follow-up inspections, including emergency closures. On any given inspection, the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation describes an inspection report as “a ‘snapshot’ of conditions present at the time of the inspection.
On any given day, an establishment may have fewer or more violations than noted in their most recent inspection. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions at the establishment.”
