Sep 23, 2026 — Canvass re-inspection

Fail

A follow-up to confirm violations from a routine visit were fixed.

Massive mouse infestation with droppings throughout kitchen, storage areas, and staff spaces remains uncorrected from previous inspection.

Standout Inspection

We flagged this inspection for serious public health concerns.

Key Findings

  • Over 80 mouse droppings found scattered across kitchen ledges, floors, windowsills, storage areas, lunchroom, teacher's lounge, and inside compressor units under holding units.
  • This critical pest infestation was identified in a previous inspection and was not corrected despite being ordered for extermination and sanitization.
  • Outside garbage dumpsters lack tight-fitting lids, creating conditions that attract and harbor pests.

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