OBSERVED NO HANDWASHING SIGNAGE IN MEN'S RESTROOM. INSTRUCTED PERSON IN CHARGE TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN.

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.

Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED EXTERIOR DOOR OFF KITCHEN AND EXTERIOR DOOR NEAR BASEMENT ENTRY TO NOT BE SECURE AND TIGHT FITTING AT BOTTOM. INSTRUCTED PERSON IN CHARGE TO MAKE ALL EXTERIOR DOORS TIGHT FITTING TO PREVENT PEST ENTRY.

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.
