What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 15, 2025. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?

      • Storage area in the front food preparation area was observed to be excessively cluttered and disorganized, with numerous boxes and items stored directly on the floor and food-service supplies stored alongside non-operational and personal items. These conditions prevent effective cleaning, compromise sanitary storage practices, and increase the risk of pest harborage.
