System Maintained in Good Repair (C)

Inspector’s Notes

At the handwashing sink next to the drink soda fountains the pipes leak onto the floor when the water is running; repair or replace the sink or pipes so that it no longer leaks when operating.

In Plain English

Floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, ventilation, or garbage areas needed repair or cleaning. These are usually less urgent than food-handling problems but still need to be fixed.
