    • Dry droppings are still present. Remove droppings using wet methods - you must remove droppings so you can see if there is new activity. Presence of rodent droppings at future inspections could result in closure of the facility (due to rodent infestation). Observed a large open container of garbage in the employee area with lots of fruit flies inside. Open garbage will attract vermin. Bag garbage and remove before leaving at night. Garbage was immediately taken to dumpster. Seal all holes and other possible entry points to exclude vermin. I highly recommend hiring a licensed structural pest control operator to identify and seal entry points.

      I did not observe any new activity. Old droppings are still present in this area. I did not observe any droppings in the section of the storage room where food is stored.

About this record

Search the county's inspection lookup for the name or license number L10763.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.

Marin County gives each inspection a result, not a score, so there is no typical range to show.

Marin County posts a green, yellow or red placard after an inspection, and gives no score. In the county's own inspection data, inspectors write "Green (Pass) placard posted" and "a yellow placard is posted due to the multiple major violations observed". We could not read a county page that lists what each color needs, so ask the department.
