Clean and sanitize this area long with all food contact surfaces, eliminate clutter and ensure that everything is stored at least 6 inches off the ground, clean up all food debris and pooling water, have facility treated for roaches and monitor for new activity. No live roaches were observed during this inspection. You may not operate during an active infestation. Seal all cracks and crevices to prevent harborage of vermin (gaps around pipes, missing grout between tiles). Send me a copy of your report.

Search the county's inspection lookup for the name or license number L14605.
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.
