Inspector’s Notes
OBSERVED BOTH DOUBLE DOORS IN THE FRONT OF THE FACILITY WITH OPENINGS AT THE BOTTOM. INSTRUCTED TO SEAL TO PREVENT POTENTIAL ENTRY POINTS FOR PEST 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.
OBSERVED NO BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE ON THE ICE MACHINE IN THE REAR FOOD PREP AREA. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN.
In Plain English
The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.
OBSERVED NO RECEPTACLE WITH A LID IN THE ALL-GENDER TOILET ROOM. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE 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.
