On Tuesday, Monroe County’s health department released its next iteration of online restaurant inspections.

The 34 inspections completed in January are now available through Monroe County’s [OpenGov interface](https://monroecountyin.viewpointcloud.com/search).

In January, 22 restaurants had *zero* violations: Arby’s #5679, Bowls 4 Boots, Café Pizzaria Inc., Circle S Food Mart #65, Cloverleaf(South), CVS Pharmacy #10676, CVS Pharmacy #6698, CVS Pharmacy #8671, DollarGeneral #6174, Domino’s Pizza (East), Domino’s Pizza (South), Ellie Mae’s Bouqcakes, Five Guys Kirkwood, Go Puff Kitchens, Heri #14 dba On The Way, InsomniaCookies, Jenny’s Baking Co., Jimmy John’s #1376, Marlin Elementary School, PappyShack Mobile Food Truck, Unionville Elementary School, Vendors at Winter Market.

In January, three restaurants had at least one non-critical violation, and another nine had at least one critical violation.

A records search for a restaurant inspection on OpenGov requires first looking up the inspection report number, which is [available on a list](https://www.co.monroe.in.us/egov/documents/1676396966%5F28992.pdf), which is published on [the health department’s website](https://www.co.monroe.in.us/department/?structureid=12).

An improvement over the presentation of December’s information is the ability for the public to see the scans of the forms that were filled out by a health inspector, not just a re-typed summary. The original hand-written forms which include some additional information, like the reason for the inspection. For January, the type of inspection for all the restaurants is recorded as “routine.”

The B Square has compiled the December 2022 and January 2023 restaurant inspections into [a single Google Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MqGM7f0dDao7zwVNaw79ZpY9Q9pU8JxXS9TH0MlEn5Q/edit?usp=sharing), and plotted out the locations for each establishment on [a color-coded map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1hC4s0gLXwlq-%5F7nnlS1Y35ZBvI8jOHg&usp=sharing). In the Google Sheet there’s a column that includes a link through which it’s possible to view the scanned inspection form.

The critical and non-critical violation numbers for each restaurant and descriptions are included in each row of the Google Sheet, as well as each location plotted on the map. (Click on a dot, and the information associated with that location will appear in the left sidebar of the map.)

Here’s the boilerplate wording for the difference between a critical and a non-critical violation from the [Monroe County Health Department’s website](https://www.co.monroe.in.us/topic/index.php?topicid=185&structureid=12):

> **Critical violations** are defined as those that are likely to directly contribute to a foodborne disease. The most common and most dangerous critical violations are various degrees of temperature abuse. Potentially hazardous foods must be kept at or above 135º F or at or below 41º F. Failure to do so, or failure to cook food to the proper temperature or cool cooked food quickly (within 6 hours) to below 41ºF, is the leading cause of foodborne illness.
> 
> **Non-critical violations** are those that have contributing factors, but are generally not the primary cause of an outbreak.

**Color Coded Map**  
(The color coding scheme goes like this: Green=Zero violations; Yellow=At least 1 non-critical violation but no critical violations; Red=At least 1 critical violation.) The dots on the map are grouped by month as separate layers. Different layers can be turned on and off separately.
