Newton Heston: Newton Heston. Glen Harrington: Back on July 1, sorry, June 3&, Persy's Restaurant had a small grease fire on one of their stoves at the end of the cooking line right next to their side door, and the Fire Department carne and put the fire out and I was called to make an inspection to check the facility out as was the Building and the Gas Inspector. Stan Eldredge, the plumbing ng inspector as the gas inspector, required that each of the gas appliances be certified by a licensed gas fitter and that each of the units be cleaned because of the buildup of grease within each of the units_ I also had my requirements: too, to get the grease cleaned because the Fire Dept. made a mess of things by spilling the grease all over the side of the kitchen and across the kitchen. So it was just a matter of cleaning the grease because there was very little damage done by the fire because it was just the grease that was on fire and one handle of a cart. So the,gas inspector and myself gave requirements that had to be done to them in order to be open. So the Assistant Health Agent and myself returned the next day and performed a full inspection to see if they were open and available to get therm to see if they could open full time. There were still several items that needed to be done and we went through both the dinning area and the remainder of the kitchen beyond the areas that were burned or affected by the fire and came up pith some critical violations and noncritical violations and we returned again at 9:15 in the morning, and stopped by at noon and there were some things that were not done and we stopped by again at 4 o'clock and by 4 o'clock each of the items had been corrected so that they were available to be open for the 4th of July weekend. They had addressed everything, they had cleaned everything, but it took therm the day of the 1 to do that. There were critical and noncritical violations noted, and through the Board's previous decision of Oct. 13, 2004 on a previous inspection when IIIb. Heston and the restaurant facility was brought before the Board for repeated sanitary violations, the Board had issued a fine and also a decision stating that any critical food violations found during a one year period fromreceipt of the Oct. 13th decision letter then a summary suspension of the food establishment for a specified period by the Board would have to be made. So, that's why Mr. Heston: is brought back before the Board tonight. Steven Ball: How many critical violations on this last inspection? Glen Harrington: it was basically one type. There were b violations, but there were food contact surfaces in different locations that needed to be cleaned. Steven Ball: So I critical and 4 noncritical? Glen Harrington: No, there were 5 critical. There was just that one type in five different locations.
