The unit was inspected along Wilson Blvd. by the Courthouse Metro Station.
- Equipment/Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
Observation: The baffle vent is not properly sized for the hood system.
Correction: Equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 [Materials for Construction and Repair] and 4-2 [Design and Construction]. Proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to operate as designed. Failure to properly maintain equipment could lead to violations of the associated requirements of the Code that place the health of the consumer at risk. For example, refrigeration units in disrepair may no longer be capable of properly cooling or holding potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at safe temperatures.
- Equipment/Nonfood-Contact Surfaces/Cleaning Frequency
Observation: Inside the refrigerator is not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude the accumulation of soil residues.
Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of microorganisms which employees may inadvertently transfer to food. If these areas are not kept clean, they may also provide harborage for insects, rodents, and other pests.
- Outer Openings, Protected (repeated violation)
Observation: The outer openings of the food establishment are not protected against the entry of insects and rodents (no screens for open windows).
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
- Hand Drying Provision (corrected on site)
Observation: Each handwashing sink is not provided with individual, disposable towels
Correction: a continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel
- Controlling Pests
Observation: Flies were observed.
Correction: The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall be controlled to minimize their presence on the premises by eliminating harborage conditions. 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.

- Food Temperature Measuring Devices
Observation: A food temperature measuring device is not provided and readily accessible for use in ensuring attainment and maintenance of food temperatures.
Correction: Food temperature measuring devices shall be provided and readily accessible for use in ensuring attainment and maintenance of food temperatures as specified under Chapter 3. The presence and accessibility of food temperature measuring devices is critical to the effective monitoring of food temperatures. Proper use of such devices provides the operator or person in charge with important information with which to determine if temperatures should be adjusted or if foods should be discarded.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: A chlorine test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration of the sanitizing solution is not provided.
Correction: A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration in mg/L of sanitizing solutions shall be provided. Testing devices to measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions are required for 2 reasons: 1. The use of chemical sanitizers requires minimum concentrations of the sanitizer during the final rinse step to ensure sanitization
- Outer Openings, Protected
Observation: The mesh screen window cover is not provided.
Correction: Provide an outer opening screen with a mesh that is 16 to 1 inch. Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces.
