An Imminent Health Hazard is Present
PRIORITY VIOLATION-5-205.15 (A), P: System Maintained in Good Repair; According to Law ------ Observed a stuck drain at the floor sink that services the 3 compartment sink in the main kitchen. Observed the drain with standing waste water in the floor sink. The waster water level inside the drain continues to raise if additional water is added. No backflow of sewage was observed after running other plumbing fixtures including toilets. Observed a slow drain at the mop sink in the North restroom. PIC stated they noticed the slow drain this morning after finishing prep work but had not called in the drain for service yet. Discussed that the establishment does not meet the minimum requirements for operation since the establishment is not able to use the 3 comp sink for ware washing and no alternatively method of warewashing is availabe (i.e. mechanical dishwasher). Discussed that the establishment cannot remain open with standing wastewater in the floor sink. Please contact us for re-inspection once the drains/lines are clear, and there is no longer waste water accumulating in the drain. No open food is permitted to be served or prepared until the suspension is lifted. A re-inspection will be conducted upon repairing the drain line so that all plumbing fixtures can function normally.
