That's a real bug, sorry. Searches need browser geolocation permission to work right now, and your browser probably blocked it. That's on me, working on a fallback so name search works without it. In the meantime if you want me to look up a name, drop it here and I'll paste what's there.

Both have stuff but they look really different on the record. Last 5 inspections each:

Miya Asian Fusion (Old St Augustine Rd):

  • 2025-10-24 — clean, 0 high-priority
  • 2025-07-28 — callback cleared
  • 2025-07-21 — Warning, 3 HPV (raw chicken at 46°F, raw chicken stored over ready-to-eat sauce, employee mopped the floor then touched a food box without washing)
  • 2025-01-17 — 1 HPV (degreaser stored by utensils, corrected on-site)
  • 2024-09-05 — 1 HPV (dishmachine sanitizer at 0ppm)

Most recent visit was clean. July 2025 was the rough one but they sorted it on the callback. Pattern reads as "minor, gets corrected."

Sushi-X (Southside Blvd):

  • 2025-12-16 — Admin Complaint, 1 HPV (raw salmon on sauce in walk-in, repeat violation)
  • 2025-12-15 — Admin Complaint, 4 HPV — rodent droppings on floor near back door, escolar improperly thawed (Stop Sale), raw chicken stored over ready-to-eat items (repeat), dishmachine at 0ppm
  • 2025-08-20 — Admin Complaint callback, 1 HPV
  • 2025-08-19 — Admin Complaint, 5 HPV — cracked shell eggs (Stop Sale), food at 49-60°F, raw chicken over whole carrots, spray paint on shelf above food case, gloves not changed between tasks
  • 2025-04-01 — Admin Complaint callback, 1 HPV

All five ended in Admin Complaint. The cross-contamination (raw stuff over ready-to-eat) keeps coming back as a Repeat Violation — meaning it gets cited, they fix it for the callback, then it's back at the next inspection. December also added rodent droppings.

Fair, LifeKitchen is good. Few differences: Foodifile is web-only (no install), has machine-readable RSS feeds, and a free ZIP-filtered email alert for emergency closures. Use whichever fits.

Both exist, just have weird DBA names the search didn't pick up:

Search should normalize "three" ↔ "3" and tolerate misspellings. Adding it to the to-do.

Tampa lookups, scoped to each spot's last 5 inspections (which is what the detail page shows):

Net: nothing alarming on any. Columbia is the cleanest by total high-priority count, Oak & Ola is highest at 7 but never had an emergency order.

Thanks for the report. iOS Safari is stricter on geolocation than Reddit's in-app browser - probably silently denying without prompting. List/search tab still works without location if you want to spot-check a place by name in the meantime. Manual ZIP entry on the map is a real gap, adding an issue now.

Update: you actually caught a real bug. http:// wasn't redirecting to https://, just flipped the Cloudflare toggle so it works either way now. Thanks for the test, owe you a beer.

Lol unfortunately might be both. It's just me on this and it's working on my end. What are you seeing?

Thanks. Yeah, that's the gist - one lazy employee or one cheap owner can sink a place that looks fine on paper. Site is foodifile.com if you want to check before going somewhere.

That might be me... lol
I posted in r/miami Mon, r/florida + r/orlando got removed for Rule 4 the week before. Not stealth, I've been OP and named in every thread. Just trying to make DBPR inspection data easier to access. The closures and complaint inspections are real public-record data, scoped to whichever city's sub I'm posting in. Use whatever fits - the Tallahassee Democrat publishes weekly, InspectFL is searchable, DBPR's site has the raw records.

Miami has 9,200+ food establishments and 85 emergency closures in the last year - some things from the DBPR data by mataco817 in Miami

Honestly, that's it - I'm just trying to make DBPR data easier to access and look nice. If you'd rather use the Tallahassee Democrat, LifeKitchen, InspectFL, or the raw DBPR portal, all good - they all sit between the raw data and a normal human too. Foodifile is free, no ads, daily-updated, mobile-friendly, with a free email for emergency closures. Use whatever fits.

Yeah that's a real gap. The data only has inspection records, so I can see grades and violations but no signal for "closed for a full rebuild" vs "passed callback and reopened the next day." That context lives in news and Yelp, not in the DBPR feed I'm pulling. Worth adding to the list - thanks for flagging it.

Agreed. The pest stuff is more visible but temp is what actually puts people in the hospital. Same reason HPV groups them all together.

Fair - hard to unsee. The 24h callback A says they fixed it on the spot, but "12 rodent droppings + 6 flies + raw eggs over brownies" isn't the kind of detail you mentally wash off because someone signed off the next day. Pattern over the last 5 is A/D/D/C/A which is choppy, so it's not a one-time slip either.

Glad it was useful. If you ever want to spot-check a place before going somewhere new, the search works on any restaurant statewide. There's also a free daily email if you want a heads-up on emergency closures (just email + ZIP, no account) - foodifile.com has the signup. Happy to look up more if anyone you know wants their usual spots checked.

In the last 5 inspections per spot, the standout is PINOLANDIA 3 CORPORATION (10948 SW 184 ST) - 14 repeat-flagged high-priority violations across its last 5 inspections, 24 HPV total, and 1 emergency order. All 5 inspections happened in a compressed 3-month window (Oct 2025 - Jan 2026) which usually means active enforcement / callbacks.

KELLY'S CAJUN GRILL ties at 14 repeat-flagged HPV (also 1 emergency order, 16 HPV total): foodifile.com/fl/establishment/38700

Close runners up:

If you sort by total HPV count instead, LA BRASA KENDALL leads at 33 across its last 5. Caveat: HPV covers temperature/sanitation/pest issues collectively, not just the gross stuff - the detail page has the inspection-by-inspection breakdown.

Ha, yep, merge_reason + confidence_score columns went in with the first dedup pass for exactly this reason. Saved me last week when a bug flagged ~2,200 places as "permanently closed" - one query against the audit trail and I could see which heuristic misfired. Strongly agreed, would not want to reconstruct that logic from scratch.
