Key Findings

• Extensive rodent activity documented with 50-60 rat droppings found on floors under cooking equipment, dishmachine, storage areas, and pallets in basement. Pest control service required before reinspection.
• Ice machine in basement prep area has black slime buildup dripping directly onto stored ice cubes used for human consumption.
• Ice machine and other food-contact surfaces not properly cleaned and sanitized.
• Basement prep and storage areas use milk crates as shelving instead of proper 6-inch elevated shelving, preventing adequate floor cleaning; cardboard used as food prep surface liner.
