Live pests or an infestation

Pests can contaminate food and surfaces with germs, so this is a real concern.

LA County code F023 · 11 pts

Hot water below the required temperature

The hot water at a sink was not hot enough, which makes proper handwashing and dish sanitizing harder.

The bottom line

Currently 98, a clean A, from an owner-requested re-inspection. But a surprise visit scored 73 with a severe issue: live pests or an infestation. Worth a closer look, since the re-check was owner-requested, not a surprise.
