7 of 21 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 5 inspections with 6 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization and Chemicals and toxic substances.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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 13 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on March 23, 2026. For example: pH value is within range of 7.2 to 7.8.

  • Cleaning, disinfection and sterilizationHigher risk

    Tools that touch clients, such as clippers, nail files, footbaths and tattoo equipment, must be cleaned and then disinfected or sterilized to the level the risk requires. Inspectors check disinfectant contact times, sterilizer test results and how clean tools are stored. Items that cannot be properly cleaned must be used only once.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on March 24, 2026. For example: Sanitizer levels in compliance.

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Disinfectants must be the right type for the job, mixed to the correct strength, labelled and replaced on schedule. A disinfectant that is expired or diluted too much may not kill germs on tools, so these findings are treated seriously.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 14, 2024. For example: Sufficient supply and storage of chemicals and testing devices.

  • 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 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on May 22, 2026. For example: Daily records complete, signed, and maintained.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    The premises needs a working hand sink, a separate sink for cleaning instruments where required, cleanable surfaces, and good lighting and ventilation. Upkeep problems are usually lower risk on their own, but they make thorough cleaning harder.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 20, 2025. For example: Deck and walls maintained in a sanitary condition and free from hazards.
