RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS
These are summaries of Albuquerque Environmental Health restaurant inspections.
The best possible score on a restaurant inspection is 214 points. Inspectors subtract points from that total for each violation. A priority violation is the most serious and costs six points (-6) for each individual violation. A priority foundation violation is a medium-risk violation and deducts three points (-3) for each individual violation. A core violation is a low-risk violation and deducts one point (-1) for each individual violation.
Restaurants with a cumulative inspection score of 80 percent or higher are approved. All inspections resulting in a score of 79 percent or less are deemed unsatisfactory. Restaurants with violations have 10 days to make corrections.
All establishments that pass their inspections are listed in the most serious category for which they have a violation.
