Violations: Comments:
This is a follow-up visit to determine what violations have been corrected. The refrigeration units have been repaired and are now functioning at proper temperatures. The kitchen hand sink is repaired and the toilet room sink now drains more rapidly.
The dry storage area was cleaned and treated for roaches by the pest control operator. There were still some roaches in the area probably reacting to the treatment. The pest control operator was planning to go back on routine service but I suggested that the area be rechecked in a day or two to make sure the treatment will be effiective and to determine if more frequent visits will be necessary until the roaches are under control.
Continue to correct the remaining violations.

This is a ROUTINE inspection at the above named establishment.
There is a serious roach infestation in the dry storage area that requires immediate attention. The restaurant has been closed for business until it can be evaluated and treated by a professional pest control technician. There are also refrigeration problems with one and possibly two refrigerators with ice on the coils preventing effective cooling of food, Also there are problems with the hand sinks in the kitchen and the toilet room. The restaurant is not scheduled to open tomorrow and must remain closed until the problems mentioned here are corrected. There does not appear to be sufficient refrigeration to handle the food that had to be moved. If the food has been subjected to temperatures above the required temperature for more than 4 hours it must be discarded. A follow up inspection will be conducted to reinspect for correction of the problems mentioned above.
All critical and easily correctable non-critical violations shall be corrected immediately. All other violations must be corrected as soon as possible within the next 90 days. If any questions arise, please contact me at the number provided.
Please remember that proper hand washing is the most important thing that food service employees can do to prevent food contamination. Review when and how to wash hands with all employees and nonitor hand washing practices.

Violations: Comments:
This is a reinspection of this establishment primarily to determine if refrigeration units have been repaired and also to see if other violations have been corrected. The Glenco refrigerator is operationg at 56 F and must be repaired to enable it to operate and maintain foods at 41 F or less. Another re-inspection will be required to check correction of the refrigeration unit. In the mean time correct other remaining violations and do not allow them to repeat in the future.
The water heater is not commercial and does not appear to have sufficient capacity to provide the required 60 GPH for the restaurant as well as the required GPH for the Ecolab Dish machine. The records will be checked and a determination made if there is a need for any changes to the water heater.
