At the 218 Nutt Road Dunkin Donuts, most of their issues were organizational. Some cleanliness and food safety recommendations were, however, made by the Department of Health:

• The following locations need cleaning: a. inside the microwave; b. under the front service counter; c. under the front bakery display to under the handwashing sink; d. under the dry storage racks in the rear; and e. inside the Delfield refrigerator under the front service counter.
• Dumpster lid observed propped open. Close the lid immediately and keep the all outside waste storage container lids tightly closed to prevent the attraction of insects, rodents and other animals to the building.

Pizza Hut, located on 240 Nutt Road, had some more unusual violations.

There is a large hole in the side of the wall facing Lincoln Avenue. Inspectors ordered the facility to cover the hole to “prevent the entry of rodents and other animals.” In addition, they were cited for cleaning violations:

• The following locations need cleaning: a. floor of the walk-in freezer; b. floor of the walk-in refrigerator; c. under the three compartment sink to the grease trap beyond the warewashing machine; d. the warewashing machine top; e. the warewashing machine need to be de-limed; f. the interior capture area of the fryer exhaust hood needs to be cleaned (heavy grease build-up); g. racks above the three compartment sink; and h. the wall behind, floor underneath, racks adjoining the fryers and the fryer rack area to the right of the fryers.
