This page turns the uploaded citywide file into a dashboard story with one chart for each year, plus annotations where the trend actually changes. It is built from 233,543 records covering 2003 through 2025. The broad picture is ugly and simple: overall record volume grew 2631.7% from the first year to the latest year on file, while inspection-date documentation deteriorated from a high of 95.6% in 2010 to a low of 24.8% in 2022.
Total records are shown in blue. Documented inspection-date rate is shown in teal. The blue line climbs over time; the teal line eventually falls off a cliff.
The narrative text in the pasted file is close on the broad arc, but several yearly counts do not match the uploaded CSV. That means the HTML should use the CSV as the source of truth.

Each card shows total record volume, complaints, violations, citations, missing inspection-date count, and a plain-English annotation grounded in the data.
