Inspector’s notes
Previous license had food that was catered in for immediate service. Food service is now prepared on site. Change of food service requires plan review. Plan review information provided with report.
In plain English
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.

Inspector’s notes
A new sink has been installed where the was previously a sink with a wooden base cabinet. There is VCT tile beneath the sink and the base cove is not integrated. There is plastic wall covering (FRP) around the plumbing and the installation is not smooth. Repair to meet code. Plans are already required for change of food service, be sure to address questions about the finishes in this area to you plan reviewer.
