04/28/2015Routine
The purpose today's visit was to conduct a complaint investigation. A complaint was received by the Health Department on January 14, 2015. The complainant and family visited the facility on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 around 4:30 pm. The complainant alleges that they saw a cockroach at their table. EHS discussed the complaint with the manager upon arrival. The manager was aware of the complaint as a customer reported a similar situation on the same date the complainant allegedly visited the facility. While, no employees from the facility observed the alleged cockroach, the manager on duty on January 13, 2015 contacted the facility's contracted pest control company, who responded the same day to inspect and treat the facility. EHS observed pest control invoices from January 26, 2015 and February 9, 2015. The manager could not locate the invoice for service received on January 13, 2015. EHS inspected several dining booths, as the majority of the booths during today's inspection were not occupied. All the unoccupied booths were observed clean and no evidence of cockroaches were observed at any unoccupied dining booths. The manager was aware of the booth that the customer sat at, which was one of the booths that the EHS inspected. Complaint cannot be confirmed.
No violation noted during this evaluation.

11/17/2014Routine
The purpose of this inspection was to follow up on an informal conference conducted on September 3, 2014. In particular, the following was to be verified: 1) Temperature Controlled for Safety (TCS) foods are being maintained at acceptable cold holding temperatures
No violation noted during this evaluation.
10/03/2014Other
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a follow-up inspection after the issuance of a Notice of Alleged Violation (NOAV). Violations outlined in the NOAV were not corrected at the time of this follow-up inspection. You will receive a letter requesting your presence at an Informal Conference at the Health Department to discuss how to attain long-term compliance with cold holding requirements.
During the inspection, the CFM presented a log of equipment temperatures. The log demonstrated multiple entries of 42-45F with no corrective actions taken. Employees responsible for observing ambient air temperatures should be trained that any ambient air or food temperatures over 41F do not meet requirements and the unit temperature should be lowered or food should be removed from the unit.
The 4-drawer reach-in "flat top" refrigerator was observed with a door that has shifted and does not fit tightly to the unit. Cold air may leak out of the gap left by this door. Have the door repaired so that it fits tightly on the unit.
Several external thermometers on units were observed to be not properly demonstrating the appropriate temperatures of the units. I recommend placing internal thermometers in each unit so that ambient air temperatures may be better monitored.

  • Critical: Cold Holding of Potentially Hazardous Food at 41°F or less (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following food item(s) were observed cold holding at improper temperatures using a calibrated food temperature measuring device: Cooked onions (52F), corned beef (52F), rice (50F) in the 4-drawer reach-in refrigerator ("flat top")
    Correction: pot roast (46F), cooked noodles (45F) in the 1-door, 2-drawer reach-in prep refrigerator ("Saute")
  • Equipment / Good Repair / Operation
    Observation: The following refrigeration units are not operating properly and are unable to maintain cold food at or below 41°F: 4-drawer reach-in refrigerator- "flat top" (50F)
    Correction: 1-door, 2-drawer reach-in refrigerator- "saute" (46F)
07/17/2014Follow-up

09/23/2013Follow-up
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a routine inspection in conjunction with a complaint investigation. See Complaint Investigation Report for details regarding the complaint.
Cold holding continues to be a repeat critical violation. A follow-up inspection will be conducted to ensure service obtained today is sufficient to maintain food items at 41F or below. Also, train employees to ensure that food is not left out at room temperature during busy rush times. Potentially hazardous food should always be under refrigeration. Failure to maintain potentially hazardous foods at 41F or below at the time of the follow-up inspection will result in further enforcement action. At this time, I will also check on the compliance status of all violations listed above. Attempt to correct all violations before the follow-up inspection.

09/17/2013Routine
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a complaint investigation in conjunction with a routine inspection. See the Routine Inspection Report for violative conditions noted during today's inspection.
Complainant stated that mice were seen in the dining area on Saturday, September 12. The manager on duty stated that the facility has been experiencing a mouse problem and has been working with their pest control provider to remedy the issue. Routine pest control services are obtained monthly, however due to mice presence services were first increased to weekly, and are now twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays. Receipts for pest control services were available for review. Gaps where mice may enter were identified. These gaps were sealed by the pest control company, however the sealant has come loose in some areas of the exterior. Contact your pest control company so that these areas may be re-sealed. The pest control company also identified areas in the kitchen that should be cleaned, including under the cooking equipment. I also noted the need for cleaning in my inspection report. Provide a deep cleaning of the establishment before the follow-up inspection. The pest control operator stated that 28 traps were laid. Continue to use glue traps as long as mice presence persists. Also, close gaps in the ceiling near the boiler room to prevent pest access to the facility.
The manager on duty stated that he has not personally seen the mice for a week. I did not observe pest presence or evidence during the inspection. Continue to seal up gaps in the facility as noted and remove harborage conditions (clean floors, remove standing water, elevate storage boxes off of the floor in the dry storage room). Contact the Health Department for further guidance if the problem persists.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
