Albatross in Jacksonville
Last inspected:
113 East Bay St, Jacksonville, FL 32202Albatross in Jacksonville has a poor compliance history marked by escalating enforcement and pervasive high-priority violations across nearly every inspection. The facility accumulated 75 violations across 10 inspections between August 2022 and December 2025, averaging 7.5 violations per inspection—roughly 45 percent above the Florida statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations dominated the record: employee health policy violations appeared in 6 of the last 8 inspections; proper cooking temperature violations were cited in 4 of the last 5 inspections; management awareness failures were documented in 3 consecutive inspections between February and September 2024; and chemical storage violations recurred across at least 4 inspections. The facility received three administrative complaint recommendations in less than a year (February, September, and May 2024–2025), signaling escalated state enforcement action.
Fire safety deficiencies compounded the violations. The facility operated cooking equipment producing grease-laden vapors without a hood suppression system during 2023 inspections, and a portable fire extinguisher gauge was found in the red zone during the most recent inspection. Despite these serious findings, no emergency closure order has been issued. The most recent inspection on December 15, 2025 documented 15 violations including three high-priority cooking temperature failures and three employee health policy violations, yet was closed as "Inspection Completed - No Further Action"—a disposition inconsistent with the severity and persistence of the violations recorded.
