Standout Inspection

We flagged this inspection for serious public health concerns.

Key Findings

  • Extensive mouse droppings found on floors, shelves, inside boxes in rear kitchen storage, in washroom, and on windowsill in pre-K classroom.
  • Food handler observed washing hands in 3-compartment sink without soap, violating proper handwashing requirements.
  • Timed faucets in washrooms not functioning properly—water doesn't run continuously for required 15 seconds before reactivating.
  • Gap at bottom of rear kitchen exit door allows pest entry; multiple loose hot water faucets need repair in boys' washrooms.

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