No violation noted during this evaluation.
10/23/2014Other
This visit is due to a van running into and compromising a wall/glass of the building. The vehicle ran into an area that houses booths. The food preparation area was not affected, however, it is my recommendation that the facility cease operation while/when the damage is repaired. Per district manager, the facility opts to close voluntarily. District manager stated that the damaged area will be boarded up temporarily. He understands that the Health Department must be contacted prior to the facility reopening for an inspection. The facility should follow the same procedure when the permanent repairs are initiated (cease operation voluntarily and contact the Henrico Health Dept).
No violation noted during this evaluation.
