[7:53] >> I have to pull them up on my iPad

[7:55] because I'm trying to read them on my

[7:56] >> Oh, I tried. That's what I did. I read

[7:58] them on my computer.

[8:00] >> Report on um It was on Mr. sushi.

[8:07] >> about a freezer that would had mold or

[8:09] something in it or

[8:10] >> Oh, yes. One of them.

[8:11] >> The ice machine.

[8:12] is all molded.

[8:14] >> Are they using this thing or

[8:16] >> Yeah, they they shut it off and they

[8:18] just everything.

[8:20] >> So Oh, they got rid of it.

[8:21] >> Yeah, it's a small ice machine.

[8:24] >> Oh, don't worry. Cuz I was like, "Okay,

[8:27] good to know that, you know."

[8:29] >> But yeah, I'll die.

[8:32] Is there any ordinances of how often

[8:34] they have to clean those or change the

[8:37] filters or anything for ice machines?

[8:40] >> No. I mean, I do tell them to clean it

[8:42] as often. It doesn't say anything

[8:43] specifically, but

[8:44] >> it's got to be maintained.

[8:45] >> Maintained.

[8:46] >> Usually manufacturing guidance, but they

[8:48] usually don't read that.

[8:50] >> Okay.

[8:50] >> That's why.

[8:52] >> Yeah. [laughter]

[8:53] >> And the water hardness here.

[8:54] >> Yeah.

[8:55] >> Oh, yeah.

[8:55] >> That's that.

[8:56] >> Yeah. It's terrible.

[8:58] >> It is. So then you see like that calcium

[9:00] build up inside ice

[9:01] >> machine.

[9:04] » I'm still trying to get used to that

[9:05] from I didn't have that problem with the

[9:07] calcium.

[9:08] >> We didn't have that.

[9:10] >> Yeah, we have oil rub bronze fixtures

[9:13] and it's horrible.

[9:14] >> Yeah.

[9:15] >> Just turns white.

[9:19] >> Yeah,

[9:20] >> I keep a razor blade in my [laughter]

[9:22] kitchen cabinet.

[9:25] She's

[9:27] got a water.

[9:29] [laughter]

[9:30] >> I was just wondering cuz in the hospital

[9:32] we have to keep it posted on the outside

[9:34] of the ice machines of when it was

[9:36] checked and filter change. So I just

[9:38] didn't know if there was anything

[9:39] >> that's protocol

[9:44] [clears throat] way to do it. Not

[9:45] everybody does it.

[9:46] >> And one of the tattoo places listed Dr.

[9:49] remain in Riverdale as something. And I

[9:52] wondered um Pretty and Pink.

[9:55] >> Yeah, cuz they're doing the permanent

[9:56] compromises.

[9:58] >> Uh

[9:59] >> so does that mean Dr. Roma knows about

[10:02] this?

[10:03] >> Yes.

[10:04] >> You should be doing it.

[10:05] >> Yes, they're supposed to have paper

[10:07] along.

[10:09] >> Okay.

[10:10] >> In Riverdale or Pumpton Lakes Pretty?

[10:12] >> No, it's a Pumpton Lakes thing, but it

[10:14] listed Dr. Roma in Riverdale.

[10:16] >> Yeah. as the doctor on file and I just

[10:18] know some of Allie's policies and I just

[10:22] >> want

[10:23] >> Is he a valet doctor?

[10:24] >> It's a valet doctor.

[10:28] [clears throat]

[10:29] >> Did he just get himself in trouble?

[10:31] >> Oh, [laughter]

[10:31] >> if he knows.

[10:33] >> I was going to say if she knows cuz

[10:34] that's the big thing cuz

[10:37] >> I was wondering that.

[10:39] >> Okay. I'll have to find out.

[10:42] Ma'am

[10:44] position.

[10:45] >> Got it.

[10:48] on call. You mean a physician on call or

[10:51] >> it's a medical procedure technically. So

[10:53] they're basically saying you need to

[10:54] have a physician's

[10:56] >> uh like a sign overview.

[10:58] >> Yeah. Overview.

[11:00] >> To put together their policies to do

[11:04] >> Katie's probably right. I mean Valley's

[11:05] a big place. I don't know. You know,

[11:06] sounds odd they would take that on. A

[11:08] lot of little family practice. when I

[11:10] worked for Valley in that same office,

[11:12] we used to do it and then the Valley um

[11:16] legal department stopped us and and even

[11:18] though we had contracts with different

[11:20] camps and different places in the area,

[11:23] they did not want to be in that business

[11:24] [cough] any longer, [clears throat]

[11:25] so they stopped it.

[11:27] >> I'll get that paper.

[11:29] >> No, no, that's I I just, you know,

[11:31] >> I'm just was like, "Oh, look at this."

[11:36] >> Yeah. that they're forging or changing

[11:39] something which sometimes we don't know

[11:41] anything but

[11:42] >> they can trouble.

[11:44] >> It actually has a new manager over there

[11:46] who may not know.

[11:47] >> They may not know

[11:48] >> that they can't just

[11:50] >> do this.

[11:51] >> Mhm.

[11:52] >> What are they doing? The doctors on

[11:53] staff or what is that?

[11:55] >> You have to have a doctor oversee any be

[11:58] in charge of any procedures. It doesn't

[12:00] mean that they have to be on premises

[12:03] but and depending upon the procedure

[12:06] >> for a tattoo par

[12:07] >> no for cosmetic which is basically a

[12:10] tattoo but yes

[12:12] >> I guess it's like

[12:12] >> but it's like the eyes

[12:14] >> your eyes your lips that kind of

[12:17] >> could be reconstructive could be

[12:19] >> you can get tattooed eyebrows if you

[12:21] want

[12:22] >> I was thinking about that [laughter]

[12:26] okay just was curious

[12:28] but it seems like most of the

[12:29] restaurants were all all checked out. I

[12:33] mean, there was no real

[12:34] >> what's that?

[12:35] >> Thankfully, just

[12:36] >> Yeah, it didn't seem like there was any

[12:37] like major problems that I was

[12:39] >> No, I mean, with Mr. Suchi and Mr. Ramen

[12:41] from last year's report, I guess Gabby

[12:43] got

[12:45] >> That's good news.

[12:46] >> Yeah,

[12:47] >> that's good [laughter] news.

[12:48] >> Yeah.

[12:48] >> Would you eat there?

[12:50] >> I actually wouldn't eat at most places.

[12:52] Even [snorts] in Humbok, I think I only

[12:54] had like six places that I eat at like

[12:56] 300.

[12:57] >> That's interesting.

[12:59] I was surprised at the number of places

[13:01] with broken dishwashers, including

[13:03] Lincoln School.

[13:05] >> Yeah,

[13:05] >> you had like three three different

[13:08] places, I think, had broken dishwashers

[13:09] or something. And I was like, "Oh, I

[13:11] don't know if I would like I'd like to

[13:14] believe that, you know, like at home, I

[13:16] even use this sanitizing uh thing

[13:18] sometimes." Yeah.

[13:19] >> A lot of them don't check that's the

[13:20] problem. And it's not necessarily it

[13:22] doesn't get the temperature or the

[13:24] disinfectant isn't going in and and

[13:28] they don't check a lot of unfortunately.

[13:30] >> Yeah. The company I think it's homework

[13:32] that they need.

[13:33] >> Mhm.

[13:33] >> They were aware of it but they need to

[13:35] get pieces and then the holidays

[13:40] but they had it closed.

[13:46] » And again when you go into these you're

[13:48] not going into these places on

[13:50] schedules. Correct. You just go in there

[13:51] randomly whenever you deem you should go

[13:54] in there.

[13:55] >> It has to be once a year or more.

[13:57] >> We try to get in more.

[13:59] >> Right.

[14:00] >> Interesting.

[14:01] >> By law, it's once a year. But

[14:06] » we're for twice.

[14:07] >> Yeah. At least twice. We're trying to

[14:09] get

[14:10] >> Okay,

[14:10] >> that's great.

[14:12] >> I mean, you know, the the previous

[14:14] administration of

[14:16] >> Yeah. you know, used to schedule vac

[14:18] worked as a health inspector in another

[14:20] community and scheduled his vacation for

[14:23] like the first week or second week of

[14:25] July and everyone knew they were getting

[14:27] inspected during that week.

[14:29] >> It was once a year during that week and

[14:31] that was

[14:32] >> that was how it was done.

[14:33] [clears throat] And then we switched

[14:35] over.

[14:36] >> It was Yeah. Well, that was Pumpton

[14:38] Lakes and then we switched over and

[14:40] things changed which was

[14:42] >> for the best. It took us a while to to

[14:45] clean up some of the stuff.

[14:47] >> The element of surprise is what helps us

[14:49] during inspections coming and they

[14:52] prepare and they're great for that week

[14:54] and

[14:54] >> Right. And I mean even the vape shops

[14:56] and stuff like they could put things

[14:58] away and all. This is great that you

[14:59] know you just walk in. I think you saw

[15:01] it in one of them. Um there was a

[15:03] flavored one or something in one of

[15:05] them.

[15:06] >> Unfortunately

[15:08] >> or everybody magically picks up a mop.

[15:10] [laughter]

[15:13] starts

[15:15] >> like you calm down. You're not going to

[15:16] fix it now.
