148 health code violations from July added to BND Restaurant Inspection Database
The Belleville News-Democrat has added 148 health code violations from July to its Metro-east Restaurant Inspection Database.
The database contains health inspectors’ findings from all of the inspections they conducted so far this year at restaurants across St. Clair County.
In July, inspectors cited 57 restaurants for a total of 148 health code violations. Most of the cited restaurants had one violation, but inspectors uncovered as many as 10 violations at a single location.
A dead cockroach in an entryway and mold on a cooler door’s gaskets were among their findings in the last month.
Visit the BND’s Metro-east Restaurant Inspection Database and our guide for using it all in one place online at the link bit.ly/StClairinspections. You’ll find detailed descriptions of what health inspectors witnessed and the level of severity they assigned to it. We also give you tips for what terms to search to find what you’re looking for.
The database now includes 318 restaurants. St. Clair County has a total of 1,028 restaurants, which receive unannounced, routine inspections from the health department two to three times a year. The health department will also send inspectors to investigate a complaint or to follow up on issues they identified in a routine inspection.
The BND will continue updating the database monthly, and we’ll let you know when the latest inspection results are available.
