Health inspectors ordered 11 Brooklyn eateries to close after identifying public health hazards. The problems included rodent and roach activity, sewage and drainage issues, and failures to keep food at safe hot and cold temperatures. Closures affected a range of businesses, including coffee shops, lounges, Latin food spots, fried chicken and pizza restaurants, bakeries, pizzerias, donut and coffee shops, and gyro counters. Operators must correct the violations and pass a follow-up inspection before reopening. NYC Health conducts unannounced inspections at least once a year and posts results through its ABCEats inspection tool. If inspectors find a public health hazard, they can require an immediate shutdown and reinspection.
"City officials ordered the eateries closed after finding problems that included rodent and roach activity, sewage and drainage issues, and failures to keep food at safe temperatures. The shutdowns hit a cross-section of neighborhoods and styles, from corner coffee stops to pizzerias, bakeries and late-night counters. Each operator now has to fix the problems and clear a follow-up inspection before unlocking the doors again."
"A list published May 19 named 11 Brooklyn spots that were shuttered this spring: Coffee With Milk, 333 Lounge, Jay & Son Latin Flavor, Crown Fried Chicken & Pizza, Chilo's, Pati's Bakery, Tasty Bites, Nonna's Pizzeria, John's Donut & Coffee Shop, Al Reef Bakery & Restaurant and Gyro Express, as reported by PIX11. The lineup is a reminder that a single inspection can sideline even long-standing neighborhood fixtures until they clean up their act."
"Across local closure roundups, the same problems pop up again and again: pests, signs of mice or roaches, plumbing or sewage troubles, and hot and cold foods sitting in the danger zone instead of at safe temperatures. For example, Patch reports that Coffee With Milk racked up 88 violation points, with missing hand-washing facilities and unsanitary dishwashing practices among the cited issues."
"According to NYC Health, the Department of Health carries out unannounced inspections at least once a year and posts the results on its ABCEats inspection tool. If inspectors find what the agency calls a "public health hazard," they can order an immediate shutdown, and the business has to correct the problems and pass a reinspection before it can reopen."
