The city is thinking of doing away with the point-based system for inspecting restaurants. But for now, every violation is assigned a number of points - 1 or 2 points for less serious problems and 4 or 5 for the most serious violations.
Here are a few sample violations the city found at local restaurants. Guess how many points each was worth:
1. Dishwashing machine doesn’t get the dishes hot enough.
2. Employee wipes her nose, then touches cooked meat in a tray.
3. Ceiling above muffin toaster needs repair.
4. Cleaning rags don’t have any chlorine bleach solution.
5. Boxes of food rest on the floor in walk-in freezer, instead of being stored at least 6 inches above the floor.
6. Live and dead cockroaches found throughout the building.
7. Cooked chicken held at room temperature.
8. Washing machine area needs cleaning.
9. Raw hamburger meat stored above open bag of hamburger buns in the fridge.
10. Someone needs to clean slime from inside the ice machine.
