Data Quality & Transparency
99.99% Coverage
We ingest directly from the official LADBS public dataset. A small number of records (~0.006%) are excluded because they're missing required fields like inspection type or result — these are data quality issues in the source system, not our processing.
Duplicate Tracking
LADBS sometimes records the same inspection multiple times. We detect and track these duplicates using Socrata's unique row IDs, ensuring accurate counts while preserving evidence of source data quality issues.
