Failure to Abate 

• Citations for unabated violations are always listed first. 
• However, they retain the same numbering from the inspection under which they were cited.

• Violations within the same "order of magnitude" are all cited under the same citation number. 
• Violations of the same citation number are cited as Items of that citation number. 
• If any citations are to be grouped, those related citations are grouped under a single Item number, designated by the Item number followed by a lower case letter in alphabetical order. 
• All Instances of a particular violation
