INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED OPENINGS AROUND THE FRONT DOOR AT THE TOP, BOTTOM AND SIDES. MUST PROPERLY SEAL TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ENTRY POINT FOR PESTS.

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.
