Routine Inspection

Sep 23, 2026

Pass

1 recorded violation

criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

In an insert of the steam table at the center of the kitchen, spaghetti measured 124F. Per staff, spaghetti had been heated and placed into hot holding less than 45 minutes prior. [CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be held at 41F or below, or at 135F or above to prevent the growth of bacteria. [COS] Instructed employee to reheat spaghetti to greater than 165F and place back into hot holding. Spaghetti remeasured 183F.

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.

Adequate ventilation/lighting; designated areas, use

Inspector’s notes

One inoperable ventilation hood light bulb. [CA] Replace light bulb and maintain in good condition. [COS] Light bulb replaced during inspection.

In plain English

minorCode K23Pests

Official wording

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals

Inspector’s notes

Multiple drain flies observed near janitorial. [CA] Food facility shall be kept free of non-disease carrying insects, weevils, ants, gnats, and fruit flies.

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.

criticalCode K06Handwashing

Official wording

Adequate handwash facilities supplied, accessible

Inspector’s notes

No handwash sink was available at start of inspection. Facility was repairing handwash sink and no alternative was provided for employees to wash hands. [CA] All food facilities shall provide an operable handwashing station. [COS] Handwash sink was repaired during inspection.

In plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Official wording

Hot and cold water available

Inspector’s notes

Measured hot water at 118F maximum at both two compartment sinks. [CA] Hot water shall be supplied at a minimum temperature of at least 120°F measured from the faucet throughout facility except at handwash sinks.

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.
