Improper Maintenance of Walls/Ceilings

There is a foundation leak along the northern side of the building. The leak is causing water after heavy rains to leak through the foundation and down the basement wall. The leak must be repaired. The restaurant owner is reportedly working with the building owner to address the issue.

Why This Matters

OVERHEAD CONTAMINATION: Peeling paint and debris fall into food. Condensation on ceilings drips bacteria onto prep surfaces. Studies found ceiling tiles harbor Bacillus cereus spores. Restaurant ceiling collapse contaminated food service for 200 guests.

Code Requirements

Walls/ceilings must be: Smooth and washable in food areas; Light-colored for easy soil detection; Free of holes, cracks, peeling paint; Sealed at all joints and attachments; Clean and free of grease, dust, cobwebs; Non-absorbent in areas subject to moisture.
