A brief check-in at a site the city inspected recently.

Rear door gap could let pests in; leaking sink and dirty toilet also need fixing.

Key Findings

  • Rear exterior door has a 1/4-inch gap that doesn't seal properly, creating a pest entry point.
  • Handsink in the prep area is leaking from the pipe underneath the basin.
  • Customer restroom toilet is covered in residue and requires cleaning.

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