This form carries no usable summary box, so the violations above could not be cross-checked against a second count. They are listed as marked on the form.
summary box left empty by the inspector Sweep 2026-09-16: Read all 56 rows, tally, header, continuation sheet. Items 1-29 all checked IN; only item 39 OUT (number circled, oval filled). Inspector circled C in V column and wrote '39 c' on continuation sheet, so tier is C not the extraction's default P. COS/R blank. Tally box entirely blank (no counts, no corrections-due date). No phantom or missed items.
