State inspection records contain findings, visit types, and dispositions. Dirty Dish List translates those fields without turning a dated record into a claim about current operating status. The State of Florida record remains the authority.
It tells you how many violations appear in the available inspection record for the period shown. The visit disposition is a separate field: it may record that an inspection was completed, a warning was issued, a follow-up was required, or an Emergency Order of Closure was recommended. A violation count by itself does not establish a restaurant’s current operating status.
Dirty Dish List uses the State of Florida disposition recorded for the inspection. When the available record says “Emergency order recommended,” the visit is shown as an Emergency Order of Closure record. The dated disposition is historical and does not establish whether the business is operating today.
It records that the State of Florida ordered the kitchen to stop operating on the date shown. It is not itself a fine or license revocation. On this site, an establishment with an Emergency Order of Closure in its trailing year receives the Emergency Order tier, and the dated visit carries the order banner. Because the record is historical, it does not establish whether the business is operating today.
The inspection record may later show a follow-up disposition indicating that the order requirements were met, were not met, or received a time extension. Dirty Dish List displays the dated disposition exactly as recorded. A follow-up compliance record does not establish whether the business is operating today.
No. An inspection disposition may say “Administrative complaint recommended,” but this site does not treat that recommendation as proof that a case was filed, a fine was imposed, or a license penalty occurred. Those outcomes require separate official records.
It means the same violation category appears on more than one visit in the available record. The badge describes that inspection history only; it does not establish what enforcement action the State of Florida did or did not take outside the records shown here.
Use the dated visits on the restaurant’s report card. Dirty Dish List shows the inspection dates available in the State of Florida record and calculates its score from the trailing year. It does not predict the next inspection date or assume what happened between recorded visits.
Dispositions, violations, and visit types on this site are the state’s own records, printed verbatim. Scores and tiers are calculated by this site from the trailing year of inspections. Disposition labels follow the State of Florida record. This site does not infer fines, license penalties, reopening dates, or current operating status from those labels.
