About this data
This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on A. FINKL & SONS COMPANY from every major federal compliance and enforcement source plus the UVA Corporate Prosecution Registry.

Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code.
OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover.
