Inspector’s notes
At this time did not see any issues inside the location. Outside the location I did see holes. Pest control does check and replaces the outside boxes. Enviroment inspector was also here with me and the GM of Burger King will be doing a lot of work around the building. Holes will be filled out back and by drive in window side of the building. Grass areas around the foundation are being covered with cement. 10-1-24 At this time PIC did have a crew working outside with cement around the foundation. Just in the past few days I found another hole on the drive thur side of the building. Please have pest control bait and cover holes. 10-4-24 At this time did find holes filled in on side and rear of the property. One did have a trap next to it. Dumpster was closed. I did see a rat in the dumpster area at this time. Please continue to clean the area. Please remove tree branch piles in the dumpster area. Pest control will need to monitor traps and any holes on the side of the building. 10-11-24 PIC stated that he was going to put out more traps along the side with the hole that have been filled. The trash barrels have been removed but the pile of yard debris in still in the back to the right of the dumpster.
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.

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.
