Fail

A shorter, targeted check prompted by a public complaint.

Key Findings

  • Person in charge lacks required Chicago Food Protection Manager (CFM) certificate and no certified manager was present during food preparation.
  • Multiple core violations from a prior inspection were not corrected: front door has 1/4-inch gap allowing pest entry, warped floors in dishwashing areas, water-stained ceiling tiles, and thick dirt buildup around equipment.
  • Food handlers lack required food handler certificates.
  • Facility has clutter in rear, dirty ceiling tiles and vents, and damaged flooring that is not easily cleanable.

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