Core-6-201.11, C: Floors, Walls and Ceilings-Cleanability -- FIFTH CONSECUTIVE REPEAT-- Floors, walls, and ceilings throughout the kitchen are damaged to the point of no longer being smooth or easily cleanable. The coating on the concrete floor is pitting/peeling up throughout the establishment revealing the rough concrete underneath. Several sections of wall have holes/cracks that expose the rough surface underneath, or have been repaired with rough/uncleanable foam, particularly behind the ice machine and around the vent hood. All floors, walls, and ceilings in food service establishments must be maintained in a condition that is smooth and easily cleanable. The establishment has made progress repairing the ceiling, but some areas still need to be sanded and finished with a gloss or semigloss paint to cover portions that are not smooth or easily cleanable. Please continue repairing/resurfacing all damaged/rough/uncleanable floors walls and ceilings.
