Below is every visit in the state's files from November 19, 2021 to July 20, 2026, newest first: 48 visits and 65 citations in all, so the totals can be higher than the 3-year counts above.

Technical assistance means the inspector gave guidance on the rule. The state's file does not say whether the "correct-by" date is a deadline or the day the problem was fixed, so it can fall after the verified date or in the future.
