The most frequently recorded infractions

This is a count of the infraction wording that appears most often across every inspection report on file. It is a ranking of the record, not of any business: it names no premises and grades no one.

Why this page exists

The city publishes each report. Nobody publishes what the reports say most often, or how that changes over time. That is the only thing added here.

Read it correctly

A frequent infraction is frequent because it is common and easy to record — a missing sanitising step is written up far more often than a serious one. Frequency is not severity. Severity is the classification on the report, shown in the severity chart on the home page.
