Jan 12, 2023 — Canvass inspection

Conditional

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Dish machine's sanitizer completely failed (0 PPM chlorine), forcing shutdown until repaired.

Key Findings

  • Dish machine wasn't sanitizing at all—chlorine level was 0 PPM when minimum is 50 PPM. Equipment was shut down pending maintenance.
  • Bar hand-washing sink had no soap or paper towels available.
  • Employees were eating and drinking while preparing food at prep areas instead of using a designated break space.
  • Ice machine's upper compartment wasn't being cleaned, and serving plates weren't inverted to prevent dust.

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