Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A public-data search tool for health inspection grades, scores, histories, and violations across covered U.S. cities.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

CityGrade accepts an establishment name or street and maps the result to municipal inspection records, including dates, scores, letter grades, and available violations. Its homepage lists 14 cities with verified feeds, while another 42 are described as queued pending feed verification. The public search requires no account; a separate owner plan costs $15 per month and adds listing management, trend tracking, inspection alerts, nearby ZIP-code ranking, and an embeddable badge.
