OBSERVED IMPROPER AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INSIDE OF REAR REFRIGERATOR AT 58F. PROPER AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INSIDE OF A COLD HOLDING UNIT MUST BE AT 41F OR BELOW. PRIORITY VIOLATION. 7-38-005. CITATION ISSUED.
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.
OBSERVED ONE LIVE COCKROACH TRAPPED ON GLUEBOARD AT BAR AREA. MUST REMOVE.
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.
CONTAMINATION PREVENTED DURING FOOD PREPARATION, STORAGE & DISPLAY
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED DIRTY POTS AND PANS STORED IN GARBAGE CONTAINER IN KITCHEN. INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE AND STORE IN CLEAN AND DRY LOCATION TO PREVENT ANY SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION.
In plain English
Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.
OBSERVED TAPED GASKET ON BOTTOM OF REFRIGERATOR DOOR IN REAR. MUST REPAIR.
In plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
OBSERVED MINOR LEAK AT PIPE BELOW 3-COMPARTMENT SINK IN KITCHEN(RIGHT SIDE) AND AT BAR ON RIGHT SIDE HAND SINK WHEN WATER IS RUNNING. MUST REPAIR.
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.
