April Restaurant Inspections (Five Automatic Failures)

April Health Inspection reports by the Danbury Health and Human Services Department.

Next to the restaurant is its total score. The score starts at 100 points and then points are deducted for failing to follow state health code. A major violation is a four-point deduction and the minor violations are one-pointers and minor violations are not listed. The total score AND the violations listed may not equal 100 because one pointers aren't listed. To learn about each violation, look up the violations listed below each restaurant in the state Health Inspection guide PDF here.
