minorCode K44Pests

Official wording

Premises clean, in good repair; Personal/chemical storage; Adequate vermin-proofing

Inspector’s notes

Silicon around the hood system is starting to fall apart. [CA] Eliminate gap greater than 1/4" to prevent the entrance and harborage of vermin. Recommend removing all the old caulking and adding fresh silicon.

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.

minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Prep table next to the cashier station was measured between 44-45*F at the time of inspection. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. Recommend lowering the temperature in unit or having it serviced by contractor.

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.
