Inspector’s Notes

OBSERVED NO SCREEN FOR THE REAR EXIT DOOR. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN.

In Plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
