What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 9, 2026. For example:
Record any and all incidents of, and not limited to, plumbing and/or equipment failures, repairs, tests, operational checks and preventative maintenance, including the date, time and details of such incidents, and sign and retain the record for five years.
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on March 9, 2026. For example:
Water sampled for Escherichia coli and total coliforms as per directive.
