4 of 17 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 5 inspections with 10 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for clients. In personal service settings like salons, spas and tattoo studios, higher-risk findings are the ones that could spread infection from one client to the next, through broken skin, blood or instruments that were not properly cleaned and sterilized.

  • Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk

    For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.

    Recorded 16 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on July 7, 2026. For example: pH is within range of 7.2 to 7.8

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    In a personal service setting this usually means equipment that has to reach or hold a set temperature, such as a sterilizer (autoclave) or a wax heater, or a fridge for products. A sterilizer that does not reach its temperature may not kill germs on reusable tools.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 7, 2026. For example: If not equipped with an automatic sensing device, manual tests conducted 1/2 hour before the spa opens and at least every 2 hours until the daily use period has ended (total alkalinity, pH value, free available chlorine, total chlorine or bromine residual, water clarity and water temperature)

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, client records, sterilization logs and required signage. Client records matter because they let health officials contact people if an infection is linked to the business.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on July 7, 2026. For example: Daily records completed and signed

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Instruments, chairs, tables and footbaths must be made of materials that can be cleaned, kept in good repair and stored so they stay clean. Single-use items such as nail files, buffers, razors and needles must be thrown away after each client.

    Recorded once on January 24, 2024. For example: Safety equipment available and in good repair

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 6 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on July 7, 2026. For example: Proper test kit is available for use to determine water chemistry (no dip and read strips)
