Inspector Observations:
Initial complaint inspection CO0069077 alleging cocroaches found in between plates and brought to the managers attention.
Met with the manager this date and reviewed the complaint. Documentation was provided showing a pest control company
serviced this facility on 4/18/19 and according to the manager the next service is due. Observed numerous live cockroaches in
various life stages (juvenile to adult) under the dishwash counter running along the wall and coming from the inactive
Powerwash equipment box/gears. Observed some dead cockroaches on the chemical sanitizer bucket and on the wall below
the dishmachine. A dead cockroach was observed on the wall behind cooking equipment. These areas were pointed out to the
manager during this complaint investigation. A heavy accumulation of grime/residue/encrustations was observed under the dish
area counters, walls, floors, and floor drains. Observed a heavy accumulation of grime/grease/encrustations on the walls
behind the cooking equipment, on cooking equipment, floors in the dry storage room, and inside the cabinets of the customer
area buffet counters. Take immediate action to clean and sanitize all affected areas from the cockroach activity. Properly
clean/sanitize the noted areas of heavy grime/grease/residue/encrustations to prevent cockroach harborage. Obtain an
immediate pest control service to eliminate all cockroach activity.
The manager voluntarily closed the business at this time and customers were no longer permitted to enter. The "A" placard was
removed and a closure sign was posted. This facility must remain closed and may not re-open without written approval from
this Agency. The facility must provide documentation showing a pest control company has serviced this facility from this date.
All noted areas must be properly cleaned and sanitized to prevent cockroach activity. All live or dead cockroaches must be
removed from this facility. Contact information was given to the manager this date in order to re-open when ready for a
re-inspection.
