Oct 6, 2026 — Canvass inspection

Fail

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Broken faucet at sink and previous violations still not fixed despite prior warning.

Key Findings

  • Faucet at three-compartment sink has a large hole and requires repair or replacement.
  • Previous violations from April 25 remain uncorrected: food debris and peeling paint in cooler, dirty floors along walls and corners, and debris-clogged filters above cooking equipment.
  • Peeling paint observed on kitchen and bathroom walls, creating surfaces that cannot be properly cleaned.
  • Citation issued for failure to correct priority foundation violations.

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