INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED SIGNIFICANT BUILD UP OF DEAD INSECTS (ANTS, GNATS, FLIES) IN THE REAR CORNER OF THE LIQUOR DRY STORAGE AREA IN THE BASEMENT. INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE DEAD OR TRAPPED PESTS AT ADEQUATE FREQUENCY TO PREVENT BUILD UP AND DECOMPOSITION OF DEAD INSECTS THAT MAY ATTRACT ADDITIONAL PESTS AND MAINTAIN.
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 BULK BIN IN THE BASEMENT DRY STORAGE AREA TO BE HEAVILY-SOILED WITH DRIED GREASE AND OTHER SOILS. INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN NONFOOD-CONTACT SURFACES OF EQUIPMENT AT ADEQUATE FREQUENCY TO PREVENT BUILD UP OF GREASE AND OTHER SOILS AND MAINTAIN.
