Oct 1, 2026 — Complaint re-inspection

Fail

Facility failed to correct prior violations including no hand-drying supplies, pest infestation, and missing cleanup kits.

Key Findings

  • No vomit and diarrhea cleanup kit on site, required under new regulations.
  • Previous violations from September 2026 were not corrected: no hand-drying provisions (paper towels or mechanical dryer) and no current pest control logbook (last service was 2019).
  • Ants were observed crawling on a shelf with candy during the previous inspection.
  • Food shelves need detailed cleaning, toilet needs a new handle to flush properly, and floors throughout the facility need cleaning.
