Inspection records may not reflect the most current status of a business. Health inspection results are synced periodically from source agencies and may lag behind real-world conditions.

We want the data on Rat Radar to be accurate. If you believe an inspection record is incorrect, outdated, or should no longer be displayed â for example, because a business has closed, been sold, or a violation was dismissed â please let us know.
Email us at support@ratradar.com with the subject line "Data Correction Request." Include the business name, city, and a brief description of what needs to be fixed. We'll review your request and update the record if the underlying government data supports a correction.
Note: we can only correct data that differs from what the source agency currently reports. For disputes with the underlying record, you'll need to contact the relevant health department directly.
