Food Inspection Violations in Boston, MA

These datasets include Food Establishment Inspections processed from the city’s open data initiative (data.boston.gov), and the connection with data scraped from Yelp (namely, Yelp reviews) scraped by BARI. The data is within the city of Boston. The Food Inspections dataset is released by the Health Division of the Department of Inspectional Services of Boston which ensures that all food establishments in the City of Boston meet relevant sanitary codes and standards. The data scraped from Yelp pages includes information about restaurants in Boston that were reviewed on yelp.com. Thus, the data includes two files: Food.Inspections.Records.csv contains information about food inspections at record level (i.e. each record for each restaurant is included). Food.Inspections.Yelp.Restaurant.csv contains information about food inspections at the restaurant level plus information from Yelp reviews also at the restaurant level.
