Comments

ITEMS CORRECTED:
- Facility cleaned and sanitized
- No evidence of rodent droppings
- Poison had been removed

ITEMS TO BE CORRECTED"
- Dishes found not to have been cleaned in dishwasher and facility was instructed to wash and sanitize these items at time of inspection
- Facility has not yet constructed partition to seal off hot water tank area from remainder of restaurant
- Facility is to have Pest Technician on site tomorrow to add more traps, inspect for more holes and discuss prevention with owners
- Scubbing of counters where grime has accumulated is to occur. EHO was able to scrape grim off food preparation areas with fingernail. This is unacceptable and is to be scrubbed and sanitized IMMEDIATELY

NOTE: EHO to return Monday January 8th for follow up inspection.

NOTE: facility should operate in more sanitary condition going forward. The rodent infestation was such that contamination of surfaces, food and equipment by rodents had occurred. If in future sanitation at restaurant is found to be in poor state as it was January 3, 2024 facility will be Ordered closed again. Ensure more diligent cleaning occurs in future to prevent such contamination and subsequent closures.
