INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED RODENT ACTIVITY ON PREMISES. FOUND 40 OR MORE MOUSE DROPPINGS ON THE SHELVES IN THE REAR STORAGE AREA AND ON THE FLOOR NEAR THE POTATO CHIPS; INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN ALL AREAS AND HAVE PEST CONTROL COMPANY SERVICE PRIOR TO REINSPECTION NEXT WEEK. PRIORITY FOUNDATION VIOLATION 7-38-020(A) ISSUED.
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.
OBSERVED DIRT ON THE FAN COVERS IN THE WALK-IN COOLER; INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN FAN COVERS. OBSERVED DUST ON SOME CEILING VENTS IN STORE; INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN CEILING VENTS WHERE NEEDED.
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 A CRACK IN THE TOILET BOWL COVER IN THE EMPLOYEE WASHROOM; INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE COVER.
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.
OBSERVED FLOORS IN NEED OF CLEANING UNDER SHELVES ON SELLING FLOOR, INSIDE OF WALK IN COOLER, IN REAR AREA WHERE EMPLOYEE WASHROOM LOCATED AND IN THE REAR STORAGE AREA.
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.

INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN THE VENTS IN THE HOODED SYSTEM IN REAR DISHWASHING AREA.
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.
INSTRUCTED THAT ALL EMPLOYEES THAT ARE NOT CITY OF CHICAGO FOOD SERVICE MANAGERS MUST OBTAIN THE REQUIRED FOOD HANDLER TRAINING.
In plain English
A required permit, food safety certificate, trained manager, or posted sign was missing or not current. These show the business is following the rules and has trained staff.
