    • Marked critical by Marin County Community Development Agency, Environmental Health Services

      Soiled wiping cloths were observed on counter (food prep surfaces). Wiping cloths were then placed in sanitizing solution and used to clean counters. No chlorine (bleach) was present in sanitizing solution. Immediately change water in wiping cloth buckets and add chlorine (100ppm). Store wiping cloths in sanitizing solution after each use. Sanitizing solution in the 3-compartment sink contains only 50 ppm chlorine. Bleach was added to the solution to bring the chlorine concentration up to 100 ppm. Remember to immerse utensils in sanitizing solution for 20 seconds.

About this record

Search the county's inspection lookup for the name or license number L14093.

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.
