Official wording
Premises clean, in good repair; Personal/chemical storage; Adequate vermin-proofing
Inspector’s notes
FOUND THE MOP STORED INSIDE THE MOP BUCKET. [CA] HANG THE MOP TO AIR DRY.
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.

Adequate ventilation/lighting; designated areas, use
Inspector’s notes
FOUND A BROKEN LIGHT COVER AT THE HOOD. [CA] REPLACE THE LIGHT COVER.
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.

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
FOUND THE CREAM OF TOMATO AT 95F, CLAM CHOWDER AT 113F AND CORN CHOWDER AT 69F IN THE HOT HOLDING UNIT BY THE SALAD BAR. [CA] KEEP HOT POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOOD AT 135F MINIMUM. SA: REHEAT TO 165F THEN HOT HOLD AT 135F MINIMUM.
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.

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.
