What the violations mean

Violation categories, explained

4 violations · 2 categories

Every violation on this record falls into one of the state's standardized categories. Here is what each category covers and why inspectors check for it — in plain English, with the trailing-year count for this kitchen.

Every kitchen must have accessible handwash sinks stocked with soap, towels, and the required sign — and the sink cannot double as a dump or prep sink. When the handwash sink is blocked or empty, workers wash less often.

On this record, the category appears in 1 of the 1 trailing-year inspection. The written details for each entry are in the state inspection documents linked above.

† Item numbers refer to the State of Florida’s standardized inspection form; the same item recurring across visits indicates an unresolved problem. Severity groupings and the sanitation score are explained in How it works.
