Pass

A follow-up to confirm complaint-related violations were fixed.

Bulk flour and rice containers were unlabeled, and basement storage was cluttered with pest harborage risks.

Key Findings

  • Bulk storage containers for flour and rice had no labels identifying their contents.
  • Basement storage area was cluttered and inaccessible for proper cleaning.
  • Kitchenware and unused equipment were disorganized, creating potential pest harboring spaces.
  • Items were stored directly on the floor instead of being elevated at least 6 inches.

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