- North Carolina DCDEE does not publish a severity level for a citation, so there is no most-serious to name.

Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.
