Comments: At time of inspection, no presence of pest were observed. However, the facility should prioritizing practices to help prevent pests from re-introducing themselves into the food establishment such as:

1. The performance of general routine cleaning in harder to reach areas, and those areas where water may be more present (drains, dish pit area, etc.).

2. Removing or repairing any present leak issues to avoid standing water acting as a potential breeding ground.

3. Removing water and food debris for pests to potentially thrive.

4. Removing harborage conditions or potential areas for pests to live and breed.

At time of inspection, a leak was observed in the walk in cooler. Ensure that this is repaired.

At time of inspection, the hand sink on the prep table was being used as a dump sing. Person in charge stated that a “hand washing only” sign would be placed by the sink and that it will no longer be used as a dump sink.
