What the violations mean

1 violation · 1 category

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.

Floors, walls, ceilings, and attached equipment must be clean, in good repair, and properly vented. Damaged or dirty surfaces cannot be sanitized and give pests places to hide.

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.
