Sep 10, 2025 — Canvass inspection

Pass

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Soap and sanitizer tubes on the 3-compartment sink hang too low, risking water contamination through back-siphonage.

Key Findings

  • Soap and sanitizer dispensing tubes on the 3-compartment sink are nearly touching the sink bottom, creating a contamination and back-siphonage risk. Tubes must be shortened to stop at the fill line.
  • Wash bowls in the first-floor boys' and girls' bathrooms need recaulking around the top edges to prevent water damage and maintain proper sanitation.
  • The last wash bowl in the girls' bathroom has extremely low hot water pressure and must be repaired to restore adequate water flow.

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