Jun 3, 2026 — License inspection

Fail

Required before the city issues a business license.

Moldy sink caulking, excessive grease buildup, and missing handwashing station pose serious sanitation risks.

Key Findings

  • Blackened, moldy caulking at the three-compartment sink must be replaced; excessive grease covers floors under cooking equipment and food debris found in walk-in cooler.
  • No handwashing sink installed on the cooks line with proper hot/cold water, soap, and paper towels—a priority violation.
  • Walk-in cooler floor has excessive rust that must be removed, resealed, and repainted.
  • Dirty ceiling tiles above exhaust hood, excessive dust on dish machine vent, and spilled soda syrup in basement require immediate cleaning.

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