Violation #: 52

Description: Sewage and Waste Water Properly Disposed

Comments:

PRIORITY VIOLATION-5-402.13 - Priority: Conveying Sewage

Addl Notes: Observed sewage back-up at the floor drain across from steam table and below oven. There was nothing plumbed to the drain. PIC submitted a work order and the response was immediate as there was a crew working on plumbing issues elsewhere in the facility. After several attempts to snake and vacuum the drain, the plumber determined that they were dealing with a collapsed drain because the water was turning black and not draining at all. The 3 compartment sink and the handwashing sink near the 3 compartment sink were observed draining v9ery slowly at time of inspection. The plumber then snaked other floor drains in the kitchen and it led to adequate drainage at the 3 compartment sink and hand washing sinks but NOT the floor drain with sewage backup. Since it was determined that the drain was not connected to other drains in the kitchen, it was vacuumed and plugged at time of inspection, and it is going to be cemented-in according to maintenance personnel. To ensure that sewage backflow is corrected, a re-inspection is scheduled on 9/4. Corrective Action: Correct prior to re-inspection.

"A" for Food Safety

Through our grading system, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department provides at-a-glance indications of how food establishments perform during food safety inspections. This system is designed to grade food establishments in terms of food safety requirements and provide recognition to those who choose to participate.

How does it work?

The issuance of grade cards to food establishments is based on voluntary participation. The person in charge, who is present during the inspection, will be asked whether they would like to participate in the Grading System. This will be decided prior to each inspection. If an establishment does not participate in the Grading System, Not Participating or NP will appear on the inspection report, and the inspection will still occur. If an establishment does participate, a grade of A, B, C, or D will be determined at the conclusion of the inspection using the Grading System chart below. Participating establishments will then be provided with a grade card that can be posted in the establishment. The status of the establishment’s grade will also appear on the Restaurant Ratings page of the department’s website.

How can I determine the grade?

The Grading System chart can be used to determine grades earned for establishments that do not participate. Grades are determined by the number of Priority and Priority Foundation violations received at the time of inspection. Violation types are defined in general terms below.

Definitions

Priority Violation
Major violation that directly contributes to increasing the risk of foodborne illness or injury (e.g. Food employees do not properly wash hands when required).
Priority Foundation Violation
Minor violation that does not directly contribute to an increased risk of foodborne illness but failure to correct this violation may lead to the occurrence of a priority violation. For example, hand washing soap and paper towels not available at hand wash sink (may lead directly to food employees not properly washing hands when required).
Core Violation
Minor violation that relates to general maintenance and sanitation (e.g. No sign reminding employees to wash hands).
Cutting Edge Program
All county food-related establishments can partner with Maricopa County to implement a proactive approach to reducing foodborne illness risk factors by implementing food safety systems that include policies, training, and verification processes. Partners enrolled in the Cutting Edge Program receive an A+ when an A is earned.
