The report lists numerous issues, including raw beef and seafood stored together, dirty knives stored with clean utensils, foods stored at the wrong temperatures and equipment in disrepair.

“Several surfaces were observed containing excessive dust, grease and dead cockroaches,” the report said. “Several fruit flies were observed in and around the hand sink.”

Restaurants that fail are typically reinspected within 10 days.
