Score
Public records show four inspections at 7-Eleven stretching back to 2023. On Jan 4, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around six violations to closer to 14 violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “maintaining refuse areas and enclosures” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
The city-wide average sits at 76, which 7-Eleven's 50 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
