To find a Washoe County food inspection report, search the business in OneNV, change the results filter from All Records to Health District, open the correct record number, and select Record Info → Attachments. The document you want is labeled Inspection Report in the Type column. Do not treat the permit record’s Active, In Review, Closed, or Closed–Complete status as the restaurant’s inspection rating.
Northern Nevada Public Health regulates food establishments across Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County. Its program includes restaurants, food manufacturers, mobile food units, and temporary food establishments. A Las Vegas result belongs to a different regulator; use the site’s Southern Nevada inspection guide for Clark County.
Filter OneNV before choosing a record
OneNV searches records from several local agencies and programs. A broad business-name search can return building, business-license, fire, planning, and Health District records together. Use this order:
- Enter the business name in OneNV’s main search field.
- Change All Records to Health District after the results load.
- Match the project name and exact street address.
- Open the record number associated with the permitted food operation.
- Expand Record Info, choose Attachments, and find a document whose Type is Inspection Report.
- If several reports are present, use Latest Update to sort them, then compare the report dates and inspection purposes.
The current NNPH Food Establishment Inspection Results page gives the same path. It also allows a permit-number search. For an address search, NNPH instructs users to enter only the street number and street name, without the direction, street type, city, or ZIP code.
One address may have separate restaurant, mobile, temporary-event, manufacturing, or application records. Match the permitted operation instead of combining every Health District result carrying a similar name.
The OneNV status and the inspection rating answer different questions
The record page and its attached inspection report belong to different layers of the system.
| Where the label appears | What it describes | What it cannot establish by itself |
|---|---|---|
| OneNV search result or permit page | The workflow status of that permit, application, vendor, or other record | The facility rating from a food inspection |
| Attached inspection report | Findings and the facility status recorded for a particular inspection | Conditions after that inspection date |
| Later reinspection or permit action | What the agency verified or authorized later | That the earlier finding never occurred |
This distinction matters when OneNV displays a record status such as Closed. It may describe a completed or closed Accela record rather than an order closing food service. Establish a food-service closure from the inspection report, a permit-suspension notice, or another NNPH enforcement record.
Do not fill the gap in NNPH’s current threshold wording
NNPH’s current public page describes four inspection outcomes:
| Published outcome | Criteria stated on the current page | Next record to seek |
|---|---|---|
| Pass | Critical findings total zero, one or two | Read the cited items and any corrections |
| Conditional Pass | Three to five critical findings, with correction completed during the visit | Reinspection verifying that corrections remained in place |
| Failed | Critical findings exceed six; correction completed during the visit | Reinspection and any later enforcement record |
| Closed | A critical finding remains that cannot be resolved during the visit | Closure or suspension record and later authorization to resume |
That results page leaves exactly six critical violations unassigned. A separate NNPH Food Safety Scores page puts six or more in Failed. The pages therefore do not agree at exactly six. Use the outcome printed on the actual inspection report, and ask NNPH which rule applied if the label remains unclear; do not calculate a replacement rating.
Keep the agency’s recorded outcome with its inspection date. If a later webpage uses different thresholds, ask NNPH which guidance applied to that report instead of recalculating an old result.
A reinspection is evidence of a later visit, not a rewritten first result
The current NNPH page says a Conditional Pass or Failed result is followed by a reinspection to verify that corrections stayed in place. Record the original inspection and reinspection as separate dated events. The reinspection can document later compliance without erasing the first report.
For a Closed result, the current page says the establishment must close until the issues are corrected and control over food safety has been regained. Confirm reopening with the later NNPH report, permit reinstatement, or written authorization rather than assuming that a corrected item or scheduled reinspection allowed operations to restart. The site’s closure and permit-suspension guide explains how to keep those records in sequence.
Reports before 2017 may require a direct request
NNPH says inspection reports before 2017 may not be available at this time. That is an online-access warning, not a statement that every report begins in 2017 or that an older inspection did not occur.
If the expected attachment is missing, try the permitted name, permit number, and the address format NNPH specifies. Then contact Environmental Health Services at healthehs@nnph.org or 775-328-2434. For a formal request, use the NNPH public-records route and identify the establishment, street address, permit number if known, inspection date or range, and the specific inspection, reinspection, suspension, or reinstatement document sought.
A blank result means the record was not located with those terms in that view. It does not establish that the operation passed, was never inspected, or is currently open or closed. A favorable dated rating also cannot guarantee current safety.
