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.
Garbage must be kept in covered containers and removed often enough that it does not overflow, and the premises kept up. Accumulated garbage attracts the pests other parts of the inspection try to keep out.
