INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s Notes

OBSERVED DEAD INSECTS BY THE LEDGE ALONG THE WINDOWS IN THE CUSTOMER DINING AREA. INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE.

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.
