They fine the restaurants for nonsense, for an extreme interpertation of the code that only benefits the city. Sure you need working therm's in the refers in addition to the ones already installed by the manufacture, but what if it is a freezer? You will still get cited for a freezer that is obviously maintaining temp without a therm hanging in the warmest possible location of the freezer. It's all about the money, nothing else. Sanitation relates to harmful levels of bacteria not sink stoppers. I don't use sink stoppers in my kitchen, because my DJ's (dishwashers) put every thing through the dishmachine to properly wash and then sanitize and air dry faster than a 3 comparment sink ever could. Sure spilled grease attracts vermin and is stinky, but do you eat in the alley next to the dumpster or grease trap? Most of the city's food inspecters simply read some papers and take a test to become a sanitarian. It's not they they have a phd in food born pathegons and under stand why I as a chef let my duck confit rest at room temp before putting it into the walkin, or why I cook my steaks from room temp vs. 35 degrees. As far as not having the logs from the monthly pest inspections, thats an easy fix. I just copy my bills with notes and put it in a binder in my kitchen. It doesn't mean they don't get bug control, it means the pest control papers were not within easy reach of the inspector.
