General Comments
At 3 compartment sink, sanitizer dispenser water temperature cannot be adjusted and sanitizer is being dispensed at 140F+. Ideal temperature for sanitizer is 75-110F. Hot water causes chemical to break down and can cause sanitizer to weaken quickly and can lead to a false high concentration reading. There was no violation during inspection, but could be in the future.

Need to repair or replace the stall and urinal divider panels in men''s restroom (current panels are rusted and damaged at bottom edges, causing a cleaning obstacle). Hot water at utensil wash sink that mixes sanitizer solution is 165-170F, this Department''s rules and regulations require a minimum hot water temperature of 130F. Recommendation is to decrease hot water temperature: The 165F water mixing with the concentrated Quat. Ammonia sanitizer appears to be decreasing the time span that the sanitizer is effective in the utensil wash sink basin.
Food prep table boards are not being properly cleaned/sanitized on both sides. Undersides of boards have stains and mold growth on surfaces. When cleaning/sanitizing, remove boards from frames so that both sides are accessible.
