More cockroaches: Another Sacramento restaurant temporarily closes after health inspection
This week’s round of Sacramento County restaurant inspections closed one downtown restaurant across from the Capitol.
A yellow placard signals two or more major violations, according to the Sacramento County Food Inspection Guide. These are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection. A red placard signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends the health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination. Green means a restaurant passed the inspection.
The county conducts roughly 14,000 inspections a year, and 97% of all restaurants pass their inspections, Ken Casparis, a spokesman, previously told The Bee. About 1% of inspections result in a closure.
Two restaurants that were closed last week due to cockroach infestations have since reopened. Vegan Deadly Sins passed its reinspection on Oct. 16 and Crepes and Burgers passed its reinspection on Oct. 7, according to reports.
Here are the food facility inspections for Oct. 12 through Oct. 18 as of 2 p.m. Thursday:

Restaurants with red grades due to cockroaches
Lit Delhi at 1129 11th St. had four violations on Oct. 17 one being a cockroach infestation which has resulted in its temporary closure.
Two live adult roaches were found next to the paper dispenser, according to the Oct. 17 report. Six nymphs — or baby roaches — were found “crawling on the wall underneath the stairs and paper towel dispenser.”
As of Thursday afternoon, the restaurant passed inspection and is allowed to reopen.
