Inspector’s notes
In the basement there is a room that is inaccessible due to excessive clutter that also prevents effective cleaning and monitoring of pest activity; clean and organize the basement and remove unused equipment and items.
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.

Inspector’s notes
The blue hood inspection sticker for the smaller hood on the first floor expired in August 2026; the person in charge showed the Health Inspector a text message from the hood cleaner that they are scheduled for cleaning of the hoods on Monday the 21st. Have an approved hood cleaner perform service and provide updated hood inspection stickers.
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.
