Summary

The facility failed to maintain the garbage storage area in a sanitary condition, as evidenced by the presence of a large pile of stacked wood pallets near the dumpster, which had accumulated up to the top of a wooden fence panel. Pest Control Service Inspection Reports over several months indicated ongoing activity in exterior bait stations, with varying numbers of stations showing pest activity on each inspection. During interviews, the interim Food Service Director and the Director of Maintenance both acknowledged the pallets had been present for an extended period, with the Director of Maintenance stating they had been there since COVID and could not be removed by the garbage disposal company due to their age. The Administrator confirmed awareness of the pallets and stated there was no current plan for their disposal.
