- 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
- Two ceiling tiles outside the kitchen area in the hallway were stained as a result of water damage. One tile was located just outside the women's washroom and the other just inside the women's washroom.It was reported that the dishwasher vent malfunctioned, closing the vent which resulted in condensation building up on the pipes in the ceiling. The issue was fixed. However, the design of the ceiling pipes promotes ongoing condensation build up.It is recommended the damaged tiles be replaced to monitor for new damage.Investigate options to permanently fix the condensation issue. If a permanent fix is not possible, determine potential mitigation strategies.
