Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
116   Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment
Observation: The dry storage room requires enhanced cleaning and refinishing of shelving. All of the containers require cleaning. Many bottles are stored in this area and are attracting flies. Onions are stored on the floor and subject to contamination. The shelves are worn and require refinishing - this was required on the last inspection report and not completed.
Corrective Action: Wash all of the dry storage containers in the dishwasher. Clean all of the shelves and the floor in the dry storage area. Re-finish the dry storage shelves by cleaning them, removing the adhesive materials that are worn on certain shelves and refinishing them with a durable high gloss kitchen/bathroom paint or equivalent. Ensure all of the containers are provided with lids and provide a surface off the floor for onions and potatoes. Provide a cover for the bottles that restricts fly access.
