- Refuse/Areas, Enclosures, and Receptacles, Good Repair
Observation: The outside trash containers are either damaged, rusted with holes at the bottom edges and broken and/or missing lids.
Correction: Storage areas, enclosures, and receptacles for refuse, recyclables, and returnables shall be maintained in good repair. Storage areas for garbage and refuse containers must be constructed so that they can be thoroughly cleaned in order to avoid creating an attractant or harborage for insects or rodents. In addition, such storage areas must be large enough to accommodate all the containers necessitated by the operation in order to prevent scattering of the garbage and refuse.
- Refuse/Maintaining Refuse Areas and Enclosures
Observation: The area around the outside trash containers is not maintained free of unnecessary items and/or clean.
Correction: A storage area and enclosure for refuse, recyclables, or returnables shall be maintained free of unnecessary items, as specified under section 6-501.114, and clean. Proper storage and disposal of garbage and refuse are necessary to minimize the development of odors, prevent such waste from becoming an attractant and harborage or breeding place for insects and rodents, and prevent the soiling of food preparation and food service areas. Improperly handled garbage creates nuisance conditions, makes housekeeping difficult, and may be a possible source of contamination of food, equipment, and utensils.
- Outer Openings, Protected (repeated violation)
Observation: The two doors leading from the kitchen to the dinning room have a gap on the bottom of the doors.
Correction: Outer openings of a food establishment shall be protected against the entry of insects and rodents by: (1) Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings
- Controlling Pests (Pf) (repeated violation)
Observation: Mouse droppings observed in the storage room floor. Dead roaches observed in the glue traps.
Correction: The premises shall be maintained free of insects, rodents, and other pests. The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall be controlled to eliminate their presence on the premises by using methods, if pests are found, such as trapping devices or other means of pest control as specified under sections 7-202.12, 7-206.12, and 7-206.13.

- Package Integrity
Observation: A mandarin orange can was dented.
Correction: Food packages shall be in good condition and protect the integrity of the contents so that food is not exposed to adulteration or potential contaminants.
- Outer Openings, Protected
Observation: There is a small gap at the bottom of the back door.
Correction: Outer openings of a food establishment shall be protected against the entry of insects and rodents by: (1) Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings
- Controlling Pests (Critical)
Observation: Mouse droppings observed in the kitchen by the prep sink floor.
Correction: The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall be controlled to minimize their presence on the premises by using methods, if pests are found, such as trapping devices or other means of pest control as specified under sections 7-202.12, 7-206.12, and 7-206.13. Insects and other pests are capable of transmitting disease to man by contaminating food and food-contact surfaces. Effective measures must be taken to control their presence in food establishments.
- Sanitizers, Criteria/Chemicals for Food Contact Surfaces
Observation: The Chlorine sanitizer at the 3-part sink was more than 600 ppm.
Correction: Chemical sanitizers and other chemical antimicrobials applied to food-contact surfaces shall meet the requirements specified in 40 CFR 180.940 Tolerance exemptions for active and inert ingredients for use in antimicrobial formulations (food-contact surface sanitizing solutions). Chemical sanitizers are included with poisonous or toxic materials because they may be toxic if not used in accordance with requirements listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Large concentrations of sanitizer in excess of the CFR requirements can be harmful because residues of the materials remain. The CFR reference that is provided lists concentrations of sanitizers that are considered safe.

- Critical: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Hot Holding (corrected on site)
Observation: Hot dogs in their buns in a pan covered with aluminium foil in the "Crescor" heated cabinet hot holding at the improper temperature of 121 F. The hot dogs were reheated to 165 F.
Correction: Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under section 3-501.19, and except as specified under paragraph (B) of this section, time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained at 57ºC (135ºF) or above, except that roasts cooked to a temperature and for a time specified in paragraph 3-401.11(B) or reheated as specified in paragraph 3-403.11(E) may be held at a temperature of 54ºC (130ºF) or above. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth.
