For the first time, the city of Detroit's website has released to the public its reports for restaurant inspections.
Officials with the city's Health Department said the results, released March 1, help the city to be transparent and provide the public with access to valuable information.
The inspections data shows results completed between August 2016 and January 2019.

The reports note violations and whether they've been corrected. The city categorizes them as:
- Priority violations are the most serious category of violations. They are the violations that directly contribute to foodborne illness or food poisoning. Examples include food at unsafe temperature (warmer than 41 degrees F and colder than 135 degrees F) and employees failing to wash hands before handing food.
- Priority foundation violations (labeled Foundation in this dataset) are violations that indirectly contribute to foodborne illness or food poisoning. Examples include not having a food product thermometer or no paper towels at the hand sink.
- Core violations are the least serious category of violation and do not significantly contribute to foodborne illness or food poisoning, but are violations of other legal requirements. Examples include a dirty floor or a dirty dumpster area.
To view results of the restaurant inspections, visit data.detroitmi.gov. Residents can also review schools, city government, transportation, public safety, building permits, rental registrations and building demolitions.
