INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED A 1/4" GAP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT ENTRANCE DOOR. INTRUCTED TO PROVIDE A TIGHT-FITTING SEAL AT ALL OUTER OPENINGS.
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 UNUSED EQUIPMENT HELD OVER FROM PREVIOUS FACILITY ON SITE. INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE FROM THE PREMISES.

OBSERVED A MISSING LIGHT SHIELD IN THE KITCHEN/DISHWASHING/PREP AREA AT OVERHEAD CEILING LIGHT AND IN THE MOP SINK CLOSET. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE.

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.
