Inspector’s Notes
At the time of the inspection there was evidence of fruit flies noted in the main service counter and the basement preparation area. Address and provide a pest control report reflecting treatment for fruit flies.
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.
