Jul 22, 2025 — Canvass inspection

Conditional

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Dish machine wasn't sanitizing at all; a service technician fixed it during inspection.

Key Findings

  • Dish washing machine had zero sanitizer strength when inspected—must maintain at least 50 PPM. Equipment was serviced on-site and brought to 100 PPM.
  • Food storage containers lacked labels identifying contents.
  • Food items were stored directly on the floor inside the walk-in freezer.
  • Ventilation hood was missing filters, and basement cooler contained clutter and unused equipment creating pest harborage risk.

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