Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED SMALL GAP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EAST WALDEN EXIT DOOR. INSTRUCTED TO ADJUST OR REPLACE AS A MEANS OF PREVENTING POSSIBLE PEST ACTIVITY.

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.
