This week's report covers 12 inspections across 10 establishments. Two facilities were closed: one for a complete loss of water, the other for a pest infestation that included live and dead mice, cockroaches, and ants throughout the premises.

Closures & Major Violations

Dashmart — 1431 Mercantile Ave NE
Inspected May 19, 2026. The facility had no running water anywhere — kitchen, bathrooms, or toilets. Staff had placed a portable toilet outside for employees. Toilets inside contained human waste with no ability to flush. Inspectors found flies from an uncovered trash can landing on food contact surfaces throughout the kitchen. Raspberry topping containers in the cooler had visible mold growth. The person in charge could not answer basic food safety questions about reportable illnesses, allergens, or cold holding temperatures. Food employees told the inspector they believed they should stop making food. Closed. Re-inspection required.

Family Market & Grocery — 110 Wyoming Blvd SE
Inspected May 19, 2026. Inspectors found dead and live mice, cockroaches, spiders, ants, and a dead grasshopper throughout the facility. Glue boards held two dead mice and multiple roaches, some still alive. Rodent droppings and dead insects were on the sales floor. A storage room contained nonfunctional equipment, automotive parts, a tire, sheetrock, and leftover food. An ice machine was leaking and creating standing water. No pest control records or policy existed. No food permit was posted. Closed. Re-inspection required.

Loyal Order of Moose 1517 — 2121 Edith Blvd NE
Inspected May 20, 2026. Half and half in the bar cooler measured 48 degrees, seven degrees above the safe limit. Floor drains in the bar lacked proper air gaps to prevent backflow. No thermometers were in the walk-in cooler or undercounter cooler. Sanitizer test strips were expired. Staff were dumping drinks in the handwashing sink. Initial result: Unsatisfactory. The person in charge corrected four violations on site — discarding the out-of-temperature food, cutting drain pipes to create air gaps, obtaining a thermometer, and replacing test strips. A Corrective Action Compliance report was issued the same day, bringing the facility to Approved status.
