Three critical health code violations at New York Fried Chicken

New York Fried Chicken has “a fairly long history of health code violations”:http://www.healthspace.ca/Clients/VDH/Richmond/Richmond_Website.nsf/Food-FacilityHistory?OpenView&RestrictToCategory=9B156189E602720485257093004CF192 — including a routine inspection back in ’06 that found “**thirteen** critical violations”:http://www.healthspace.ca/Clients/VDH/Richmond/Richmond_Website.nsf/Food-InspectionDetails?OpenView&RestrictToCategory=8825722500677768852571D5005521DE&Count=1000.

Earlier this month on, January 12th, “a health inspector found an inoperable hot water heater heater”:http://www.healthspace.ca/Clients/VDH/Richmond/Richmond_Website.nsf/Food-InspectionDetails?OpenView&RestrictToCategory=532660ABC2372290852576A9006CDD19&Count=1000 and forced the establishment to close. NYFC(New York Fried Chicken) repaired the hot water heater the next day — although the inspector found three more critical violations on the follow up inspection, all were corrected during the inspection:

* Different types of raw animal foods stored in such a manner that may cause cross contamination. (Raw hamburger stored above raw fish)
* The following equipment food-contact surfaces were observed soiled to sight and touch: SLICER
* Mashed potatoes hot holding at improper temperatures.

For comparison, take a gander at the “Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken report”:http://www.healthspace.ca/Clients/VDH/Richmond/Richmond_Website.nsf/Food-FacilityHistory?OpenView&RestrictToCategory=88256BA4005BF37088256B83008272D6: never more than three critical violations, zero violations the last four inspections.
