The results, as the state names them
Fifteen visits closed as Inspection Completed - No Further Action. Eleven closed as Call Back - Complied. Nine ended in a Warning Issued. Seven ended in Administrative complaint recommended. Three ended in Call Back - Extension given, pending. One ended in Call Back - Admin. complaint recommended.
The department classes what an inspector finds three ways on its own page, and the words below are its own. Basic: “those which are considered best practices to implement.” Intermediate: “could lead to risk factors that contribute to foodborne illness or injury.” High Priority: “could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury.” In the table above, the High priority column counts that third kind only. The Total violations column counts all three.
Every establishment the division regulates gets one to four unannounced inspections a year. The department says risk factors set the number. Those factors include the type of food, the preparation methods, and the license’s own inspection and compliance history.
The call-backs
Seven licenses drew a recommended administrative complaint on a first visit. Three of the seven were visited again inside the window.
Taco Libre drew one on Oct. 5 and complied on Oct. 7. Molasses Junction General Store drew one on Oct. 6 and complied on Oct. 7. Village Inn #24 drew one on Oct. 5 and was given an extension on Oct. 7. That visit recorded three violations and none high priority.
Green Papaya drew one on Oct. 6 and Poppys Italiano drew one on Oct. 7. Grilled Cheese Gallery and Kingfish Grill each drew one on Oct. 12. The file carries no later visit to any of those four.
Sunday is the one license visited three times. The state recorded a Warning Issued on Oct. 8, then Call Back - Admin. complaint recommended on Oct. 9, then Call Back - Extension given, pending on Oct. 12. The table carries 14 and six high priority on the first, three and two on the second, and one and none on the third.
Denny’s #7047 drew a Warning Issued on Oct. 7 and an extension on Oct. 8. Drake’s Bistro drew a Warning Issued on Oct. 9 and complied on Oct. 12. The Perch drew a Warning Issued on Oct. 5 and complied on Oct. 7. That first visit recorded two violations and both were high priority.
Carried over from the last table
Pizza Time and Tsaocaa each appear on a third visit, both on Oct. 5 and both recorded Call Back - Complied. Southern Grounds and Co appears on a second visit, Oct. 7, Call Back - Complied. That license drew a recommended administrative complaint on Sept. 29. It ran in this table on Oct. 4. The file held no later visit then.
Burger King #19411 and Ned’s Southside Kitchen each appear only as a call-back. Both are recorded on Oct. 12 as Call Back - Complied. The visits that produced them fall outside this window.
The state’s own inspection reports carry the individual violation codes, and this table carries the counts.
