Additional Comments

Facility's permit suspended for imminent public health risk. PIC was asked to voluntarily close and called general manager of facility to take responsibility. General manager argued they did not have to close because they still had water at mop sink. No hand sinks, bathroom sinks, 3 comp sink, or toilets were operable. Walk-in cooler ambient temperature at 50 F. General manager refused to come to facility when asked by inspector. Permit suspended. Repair all plumbing, restore water to facility and repair walk-in cooler to hold food at 41 F. or below within 24hours. PIC new to store and could not find food handler and food manager certificates. Please have proof of training for every food handler. Have available certified food manager training certificate for general manager, or at the very least for one employee that works at facility. Due to operation with raw chicken and no available sinks to wash hands contamination of surfaces was extensive. Clean and sanitize entire facility prior to approval for operation. In addition, due to severe health risks created by general manager of this facility knowingly continuing to operate without water to hand sinks,
restroom sinks, toilets, 3-compartment sink, and a walk-in cooler at 50 F. degrees
the risk level for the restaurant is raised. In addition the restaurant has multiple repeat violations. Inspections to this facility will be at increased frequency of every 4 months. Contact inspector when facility has made all corrections and is ready for inspection to lift suspension.
