Source: Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, public routine retail food inspection records, 2023–2026 (~100k inspections). Filtered to zip 90012, inspectors with >20 routine inspections in that zip.
Tools: Python (pandas), matplotlib.
Disclosure: I work on a side project that uses LA County’s public inspection data. Not linking it here.

I’m surprised they made this data public. Not a good look for the county.

Are these all the same restaurants? How many total restaurants (including repeats) show up in this? It definitely seems concerning, but it could be that a new mall or something opened and the inspections that included a larger share of the new restaurants had more low grades. The time distribution of this matters.
