Restaurant health inspection data: failed inspections, new and closed restaurants in Chicago, NYC, San Francisco and Austin
Cities publish every restaurant inspection, but the raw files are huge and each city scores differently. Our restaurant change file reads the inspection and license records for one city and gives you only the restaurants where something just happened: a failed inspection, a repeat fail within 12 months, a new opening, a change of hands or a closure. Each row carries the last inspection date, result and score where the city publishes one.

Questions
Is restaurant health inspection data public?
Yes. Chicago, New York City, San Francisco and Austin each publish inspection results on their open-data portals for free. Our file saves you the cleanup: it keeps only restaurants with a recent change and puts all four cities in one format.
What counts as a failed inspection?
We use each city's own result. In San Francisco, a conditional pass (yellow placard) or a closure (red placard) from the Department of Public Health counts as failed. The row shows the city's exact result so you can judge it yourself.
Who uses this?
Suppliers, cleaning and pest-control companies, POS and payments sellers, and restaurant brokers who want to reach restaurants right when something changes. Business data only.
