COMPLAINT: DISPOSAL OF GREASE AND DUMPING IN ALLEY
TALKED WITH JOHN OWNER. NEIGHBOR HAPPENED TO SEE OWNER OF BASI ITALIA SWEEPING WATER OFF THE CURB THAT WAS STANDING IN THE DOORWAY OF RESTAURANT. SO JOHN BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR WAS TRYING TO SWEEP WATER INTO STORM DRAIN FOR GOOD OF ALL THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH THE WASTE THAT COMES AS A RESULT OF PRECIPATION AND REFUGE DEPT EMPTYING TRASH.
BECAUSE THE STREET IS MORE LIKE AN ALLEY THE TRASH CANS FOR THE RESTAURANT (WHICH ARE DUMPED BY A PRIVATE COMPANY) AND RESIDENTS ARE SIDE BY SIDE. WHEN CITY REFUGE PICKS UP AND COMPACTS TRASH, FOUL ODORED LIQUID LEAKS IN FRONT ON RESTAURANT AND STANDS IN THE DOORWAY BECAUSE THE STREET IS BRICK AND THE PITCH OF STREET IS NOT EVEN.
JOHN WAS SWEEPING BECAUSE OF THE PUDDLES AND THIS IS WHAT THE NEIGHBOR SAW.
JOHN HAS CALLED THE CITY OF COLUMBUS REFUGE TO GET ASSISTANCE. REFUGE HAS COME OUT WITH STREET CLEANING TRUCKS BUT THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. IT MAKES THE PUDDLING WORST AT THE CURB OF THE BUSINESS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WATER

PIC - John - Updated green sign - * = Critical Violation
- The inspection report was discussed with John Dornback.
- Please ensure all glassware used outside is cleaned inside.
