A follow-up to confirm violations from a routine visit were fixed.

Rainwater dripped from a ceiling hole into a garbage can in the food prep area.

Key Findings

  • Rainwater was dripping through a hole in the ceiling into a garbage can in the rear food prep area, risking food contamination.
  • Manager was observed in the food prep area with a beard and no beard guard.
  • Cardboard was being reused as a floor liner under cooking equipment, which violates single-use article rules.
  • Debris accumulated inside fryers and at the bottom of hot holding units, and a large hole in the utility room wall needed sealing.

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