When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Note that La Michoacana Ice Cream Shop 4's inspection history hasn't been updated since Feb 7, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to eight violations per visit.
