Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED THE REAR EXIT DOOR NOT COMPLETELY RODENT-PROOFED AS REQUIRED. INSTRUCTED THE PERSON IN CHARGE TO COMPLETELY RODENT PROOF DOOR BY SEALING 1/4 GAP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR 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.
