How inspections came out

The Allegheny County Health Department recorded 9,501 inspections countywide between Aug 11, 2025 and Jul 28, 2026⁴. Here is how the placards were distributed:

Inspected & Permitted9161

Follow Up Required177

Inspected / Permit Denied90

Consumer Alert36

Ordered to Close28

Imminent Hazard - Closure7

No Entry - Closure2

96.4% of inspections ended with "Inspected & Permitted". A single facility can have several inspections in the window, and a follow up or closure is usually resolved by a later visit.

Preopening inspections by month

A preoperational inspection happens before a food facility opens, changes owners or reopens after major work. This chart counts them countywide. See the list
