Key Findings

  • Three-compartment sink lacked required wash-rinse-sanitize labels on each compartment.
  • A leaking pipe was found in the basement and requires repair.
  • Staff toilet room door doesn't self-close, and damaged walls in the prep area need repair to maintain proper sanitation standards.

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