Inspector’s notes

NOTED THE DINING ROOM EXIT DOOR (NORTH) LEADING TO THE OUTSIDE PATIO WITH AN OPEN 1/2 INCH GAP ON THE BOTTOM THRESHOLD. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE A TIGHT FITTING SEAL.

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.
