Phoenix Restaurant Inspections: The Alert and the Apathetic

The July reports are out from the Maricopa County Environmental Health Services Division. Every month when I compile this information, I can't help but notice that there are some restaurants that repeatly get excellent scores from the Health Department. They really care about cleanliness and their customers. That's good news. Then there are some that just don't make the grade. In July, there were only 12 eating establishments (seating 10 or more people) that had more than 7 major health code violations. That's an improvement over recent prior months!
