Inspector’s Notes
OBSERVED THE MAIN ENTRANCE DOOR TO THE NORTH KITCHEN WITH A SMALL OPENING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. INSTRUCTED TO SEAL OPENING 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.
FOUND 2 OUT OF 3 BUILT IN STOPPERS AT THE 3 COMP SINK INOPERABLE, SAID STOPPER UNABLE TO HOLD WATER. MUST REPAIR AND MAINTAIN.
In Plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
