INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED NO PEST CONTROL LOG BOOK PROVIDED ON THE PREMISES. MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE A PEST CONTROL LOG BOOK FROM A LICENSED PEST CONTROL COMPANY. PRIORITY FOUNDATION 7-38-20(A). CITATION 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.

ADEQUATE VENTILATION & LIGHTING; DESIGNATED AREAS USED

Inspector’s notes

THE VENTILATION FAN IN THE WASHROOM IS NOT OPERATIONAL. MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE.

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.
