Pass

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

Incomplete vomit and diarrhea cleanup kit lacked essential supplies and documentation.

Key Findings

  • Vomit and diarrhea cleanup kit was incomplete—only had gloves and absorbent substance, missing other required items and records.
  • Hot holding unit had no thermometer to monitor temperature, posing a food safety risk.
  • Two microwaves in the dining area had dirty interiors and needed cleaning.

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