An inspector discovered dead mice and “too many to count” rodent droppings at a restaurant in Pittsburgh, which resulted in the establishment receiving a consumer notice due to the inspection.
An inspection was conducted on May 8 at the Murray Avenue Grill, which is located in the Squirrel Hill district of Pittsburgh. The Allegheny County Health Department issued a consumer notice on the restaurant.
The report states that an inspector discovered two dead mice in the basement of the building.
Furthermore, the inspector noted that there were “too many to count” mouse droppings along the walls, flooring, and shelves in the office space and storage spaces located in the basement. This was written during the inspection.
The facility was apparently contaminated with mouse droppings, which were found in several locations, including the walk-in fridge and a cabinet located behind the bar.
Additionally, the inspector reported discovering two liquor bottles at the bar that included dead insects floating inside of them, as well as a “black, mold-like substance” on the ice machine.
The infractions in question have been deemed high risk by the health department, which indicates that they have the potential to directly result in foodborne disease or harm.
