Repeated topics

Topics cited in more than one report during the last 36 months. A repeat may show a pattern worth asking about. Each date opens its report below.

No topic repeats in the last 36 months

No deficiency topic appears in more than one report during that window. This does not establish that nothing repeated earlier in the five-year record, and it is not a statement about current conditions.
