Key Findings

  • More than 40 mouse droppings observed on floors, shelves, and bulk containers in basement storage. Manager instructed to call exterminator and sanitize all affected areas.
  • Previous violations from October 2025 remain uncorrected: coolers lack working thermometers to monitor temperatures, three-compartment sink faucets are leaking, and certified manager's allergen training certificate is expired.
  • Food and equipment heavily soiled: spills and debris found on coolers, freezers, cooking equipment, bulk containers, holding units, sinks, and shelving throughout prep and storage areas.
  • Multiple facility maintenance issues: loose ventilation fan in washroom, dust buildup on ventilation fan, unlabeled bulk containers in prep and storage areas, missing handwashing sign, and only one stopper provided for three-compartment sink.

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