Landlord Seeking Eviction - Inspectors Find 7 Critical Food Safety Issues
LABELLE, FL. -- The Rodeo Grill LLC in LaBelle received it's latest state food safety inspection on October 22nd. The inspection revealed seven critical food safety issues and one non-critical, compared to nine critical items found in an August inspection.

Frantzius is being sued by landlord Gradeur Oaks, LLC to evict him for alleged non-payment of rents. Frantzius was ordered by the court on October 20 to deposit rent into the court registry to avoid a default judgment against him leading to an eviction.

I eat at all the mentioned restaurants. Although the inspection results are serious I have never become sick from any of them. So it appears that most infractions are taken care of asap.
ReplyDeleteIt is more common that the restaurants continues to have about the same number of infractions at the next inspection. Becoming ill is not a certainty despite the health safety problems noted, but only a small possibility for most healthy individuals. In the case of a very serious health hazards, the restaurant would presumably be shut down.
