A tag is ranked by how many times it was cited. “Buildings cited” counts the inspected buildings that drew the tag at least once, and its percentage is of every building inspected; we print a percentage only where 20 or more buildings were inspected. “Rank a year earlier” is the same ranking over August 2024 through July 2025. CMS publishes citations months after the survey, so the newest months are still filling in: compare ranks across the two years, not counts. Immediate jeopardy is CMS severity J, K or L; actual harm is G, H or I. No building is named on this page: open a building for its own inspections.
