Scoring: 90+ excellent · 80–89 needs improvement · under 80 failing. A low score will typically trigger a re-inspection within 10–30 days — that’s why some venues have multiple inspections close together. Matched to this venue by trade name and ZIP; if this is the wrong establishment, the city’s record may use a different business name.
