Score
Inspectors have visited Altitude nine times, with records going back to 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 20, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to nine violations per visit.
“Operating with an expired division of hotels” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
The city-wide average sits at 74, which Altitude's 70 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
