Fixed?
Nothing was cited, so there is nothing to correct.
Most serious
Nothing was cited at any visit on file.

North Carolina DCDEE describes every citation in the licensor’s own words and records the correction in that same text — the only one of the six states that publishes whether a violation was fixed. It attaches no rule number and no report document.
