Right, right there are always these nitpicky problems.
But was there something more? We decided to take a look at their last inspection, which was October 25, wherein they racked up an impressive 43 violation points. We can’t say how many of the previous wrongs have since been righted, but we hope they had at least cleaned up that roach problem in the past few weeks.
