Nine restaurants were closed due to health hazards between March 9-31 in the San Fernando Valley area.
The food facilities had their health permit suspended for either vermin or no water/hot water according to reports from the Los Angeles County Public Health Department.
Food facilities whose permits are suspended must close until another inspection determines the problems have been fixed. Closures can occur during routine and owner-initiated inspections, complaint investigations and re-inspections.
The department did not provide details about the nature of the vermin — like the kind, number and where in the facility they were found.
If a food facility is closed for vermin infestation, sewage problems or for not having any water running through the facility it loses an additional seven points on top of the four points deducted for major health violations. Any time two major health hazards, such as unsafe food temperatures, are observed, the facility loses an additional three points in its inspection score.
Here are the facilities that were closed. The grade and points listed were on the day closed
