What's on the Boston list

Each line is one restaurant, and each Monday's list has only citations you haven't seen before.

The restaurant
Its name, its address and the restaurant's phone number.
The citation
The date, the pests it was cited for and whether it was ordered closed or failed the inspection.
Its history
How many earlier pest citations it has in the prior 12 months. A repeat problem usually means the current provider isn't working.
The order
Closures come first, then failed inspections and repeat problems, so you call the restaurants that need help most.
