The light intensity was <20 foot candles at buffet, sales area, in other refrigerator, or at 30 inches above the floor in warewashing, other storage, or toilet rooms. The lighting at the bar is insufficient. Increase the bar lighting.

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.

Official Wording

6.4(D)(2) - Cleaning Ventilation Systems- Nuisance and Discharge

Inspector’s Notes

Ventilation systems create a public health hazard or nuisance or unlawful discharge when vented outside. Observed dust build up on the ceiling HVAC grate. Clean the grate, ensure that the filter is functioning properly.

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.

Inspector’s Notes

A handwashing sign was not posted at all handwashing lavatories. Observed a hand sink without hand washing signage. Ensure that hand sinks are stocked with required amenities.
