311 - Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]
Observation:
1) Light fixtures in the back kitchen area are missing light bulbs, the light level is too low. It is difficult to see what is dirty and needs cleaning. Accumulating food and grease will attract pests. This was mentioned in the previous inspection report.
2) There is a hole in the wall, behind the chest freezer in the back prep area. The wall is not sealed, durable or cleanable. This will encourage food to accumulate and attract pests. This was mentioned in the previous inspection report.
3) Insulation from the ceiling has fallen onto food contact surfaces. Duct tape covering a hole in the ceiling has fallen off and the insulation is falling down. This could contaminate food.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Immediately install working light bulbs in all light fixtures so the light level is brighter. Failure to do so will result in the issuance of orders, tickets, fines, and/or closure.
**Correction date: Today**
2) Install wall panelling (EXCELiner Wall panelling) or FRP to the damaged wall so it is durable, smooth, level, sealed, and cleanable. Failure to do so will result in the issuance of orders, tickets, fines, and/or closure.
**Correction date: Mar. 1/24**
