The feed covers active permit records and a limited inspection history. We group repeated violation rows by permit, inspection date and inspection type. We keep inspection dates, grade dates and extract dates separate.
Neighborhood links use the source’s NTA codes and NYC Planning’s 2010 name crosswalk. These statistical areas approximate neighborhoods.
Chicago
Chicago Department of Public Health via the City of Chicago Data Portal.
Checked · Source updatedThe feed covers food inspections since January 2010. We group Chicago records by the published license number and display the address recorded on each inspection. Records outside the Chicago city scope or without a usable license number are excluded.
We preserve published outcomes and inspector comments. July 1, 2018 marks a change in inspection procedures, so local breakdowns group outcomes from that date onward.

How we update the directory
We check official sources on a daily schedule when deployed. Each changed export must pass schema and completeness checks before it replaces the last accepted records. Visit dates show when inspectors observed conditions. The check date shows when we last verified or imported the source.
