ADEQUATE HANDWASHING SINKS PROPERLY SUPPLIED AND ACCESSIBLE
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED NO HANDWASHING SIGNAGE IN ALL GENDER WASHROOM #2. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE.
In plain English
Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.
OBSERVED A 1/4" GAP NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT/ENTRANCE DOOR. INSTRUCTED 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.
CONTAMINATION PREVENTED DURING FOOD PREPARATION, STORAGE & DISPLAY
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED NO SPLASHGUARD BETWEEN EXPOSED HANDWASHING SINK AND DRAINBOARD OF 3 COMPARTMENT SINK IN THE BASEMENT AREA. INSTRUCTED TO INSTALL A WASHABLE SPLASHGUARD.
In plain English
Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.
OBSERVED NO BACKFLOW PREVENTER DEVICE ON THE FAUCET AT THE MOP SINK IN THE BASEMENT. INSTRUCTED TO INSTALL.
In plain English
The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.
OBSERVED EXPOSED BRICK WALLS NEAR THE FRONT PREP AREA, OUTSIDE OF WASHROOM #1 AND DOWN THE STAIRWAY LEADING INTO THE BASEMENT AREA. INSTRUCTED TO COVER AS WALLS SHOULD BE SEALED, SMOOTH AND EASILY CLEANABLE.
In plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION & LIGHTING; DESIGNATED AREAS USED
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED A BURNED-OUT LIGHT-BULB AT THE STOVE/FRYER AREA. INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE BULB.
In plain English
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.
OBSERVED NO CERTIFIED FOOD MANAGER WITH ALLERGEN TRAINING. INSTRUCTED ALL CITY OF CHICAGO FOOD SERVICE SANITATION MANAGERS MUST COMPLETE TRAINING AND PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION.
In plain English
A required permit, food safety certificate, trained manager, or posted sign was missing or not current. These show the business is following the rules and has trained staff.
