Maybe you want to know if your favorite restaurant is a serial health code violator. Or maybe you don’t. Either way, there’s now an easy way to find out how safe—or not—it is.

Inspection Mapper, a new search and mapping tool put together by a local programmer Graham MacDonald culls D.C. Department of Health records for information on restaurant inspections and health code violations, allowing users to search their favorite restaurant by name, see who the worst violators are or search by types of violations.

Over the last year, for example, it’s easy to discover that Chinatown’s Bistro Med is the worst violator in town, with 56 violations and seven inspections. August 30, for example, wasn’t a good day for the restaurant—it got nailed with seven violations ranging from no soap at a handwashing sink to live cockroaches. La Morenita on Georgia Avenue isn’t far behind with 47 violations, while local mainstay Ben’s Chili Bowl places in the top five with 39 violations.

Want to know which restaurant rodents, vermin and other critters are known to frequent? It doesn’t take more than a click to find out that the Cosi on Connecticut Avenue on Dupont Circle is the worst, having been nailed for seven violations in the last year. The last violation was recorded on April 5.

This isn’t the first such mapping tool of its kind: there’s cleanEats, and even the Department of Health makes the information surprisingly accesible. Of course, not everyone thinks to look up the restaurant they’re going to hit up before going out. To that end, in 2009 and 2011 Councilmember Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3) introduced legislation that would force restaurants to post a letter grade outside their establishment based on the number of inspections and violations; both times, the measure failed.
