INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s notes

6-202.15 OBSERVED REAR RIGHT DOOR WITH A 1/4 INCH GAP AT THE BOTTOM. INSTRUCTED TO MAKE SAID DOOR TIGHT FITTING AND RODENT PROOFED.

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.
