PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES
TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. (TCS food at 51F, 50F, 49F, 48F - Discarded)
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.

Sewage and waste water not disposed of in an approved manner. (Leak at bottom of hand sink in bar area)
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.

Presence of insects. (Observed live roach in reach in cooler)
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.
