Is this your place?

Your whole team can help. Each person gets one next step, and everyone can see what's done.
This is my place: claim SushistopWe'll help you get every item done. You don't have to do it alone.

Follow the steps for each item, with the rule beside it.
Log it
Your team logs the fix on their phones, with the time and who did it.

About this record
Open the City's Health Inspection Search, choose Restaurant/Market, and search for the name. Inspections before December 2025 are on its second page.
Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
100 means the inspector found no problems. Pasadena takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.
Each inspection starts at 100 points and points come off for each violation. 85 to 100 is a Pass, 75 to 84 a Conditional Pass, and below 75 a permit suspension hearing is scheduled. Closed means the permit was suspended. The City uses no letter grade. Its guide is from 2014: confirm the numbers with the department.
