Sep 1, 2026 — Canvass re-inspection

Pass

A follow-up to confirm violations from a routine visit were fixed.

Food handlers had expired training certificates at time of inspection.

Key Findings

  • Food handlers presented expired proof of food handler training; valid certificates required for all staff.
  • Washroom door lacks a self-closing mechanism and doesn't fit tightly.
  • Wet mop stored on floor instead of on a drying rack, creating potential pest breeding conditions.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
