Red flags

1 immediate-jeopardy citation in the most recent inspection cycle

Immediate jeopardy is the most serious finding an inspector can make: a situation likely to cause serious injury, harm, or death.

Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule

Cited 1 time under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.
