Sep 1, 2026 — Canvass inspection

Fail

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Multiple washroom sinks lacked hot water and timed faucets malfunctioned, preventing proper handwashing.

Key Findings

  • No hot water at handwashing sinks in seven rooms; temperatures ranged from 71-73°F instead of required minimum 100°F.
  • Timed faucets in boys' washroom and two other rooms failed to run continuously for the required 15 seconds.
  • 1/4" gap at bottom of exit door in one room creates pest entry risk.
  • Leaking drainpipe under handwashing sink and leaking faucet on 3-compartment kitchen sink.

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