Cardboard boxes and other clutter observed in the storage room.
[CA] Maintain clean and organized, and remove items unnecessary for the operation of the facility to prevent the harborage of vermin. Remove unneeded cardboard, as the material is corrugated and may allow for the harborage of vermin.

Two containers of milk measured 58F and 47F respectively while maintained out on the counter. Per the staff, they had been taken out for preparation less than one hour prior.
[CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be held at 41F or below, or at 135F or above to prevent the growth of bacteria.
[COS] Employee relocated milk to under-counter cooler. Two-hour active preparation allowance discussed with staff.
In plain English
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
1. German cockroaches of various life stages observed in the following locations:
- 1 live crawling in the conduits underneath the glass-display cooler at the entrance of the bar-area
- 2 live and 5+ dead in a sticky trap underneath the "Sota" oven in the back kitchen area
- 1 live and 10+ dead in a sticky trap underneath the ice machine in the back kitchen area
- 1 live in the crevice between the wall and backboard of the three compartment sink, on the right side directly adjacent to the soap dispenser for the hand sink in the back kitchen area
- 1 live crawling on the floor amid boxes and other clutter in the storage room
- 15+ dead in a sticky trap underneath the under-counter cooler in the bar-area
- 5+ dead in multiple sticky traps in the storage room
- several dead cockroaches observed on the floor underneath various refrigeration units throughout the kitchen
Per the staff, they began having issues with cockroaches this past summer. PIC states that occasionally the sewage drain underneath the three compartment sink will back up owing to shared sewage lines with nearby apartments, and she thinks this is the source of the cockroaches. No sewage backup observed at time of inspection. Pest control report could not be provided. PIC is unsure if the property maintains a regular pest control service.
