What does Florida violation V29 (Proper sewage disposal) mean?

SEWAGE EXPOSURE: Improper sewage disposal creates risk of fecal contamination throughout the facility. Raw sewage contains billions of pathogens per liter including Norovirus, Hepatitis A, pathogenic E. coli, Campylobacter, and parasites. Sewage backup in food areas requires immediate closure and extensive decontamination. Groundwater contamination affects entire communities. All sewage and waste water must be disposed through approved sanitary sewer or private system. No direct connections between sewage lines and water supply. Grease traps must be maintained and cleaned regularly. Floor drains must function properly. Report sewage backups immediately and cease food operations until resolved.

What does Florida violation V36 (Proper ventilation) mean?

AIR QUALITY: Inadequate ventilation allows accumulation of grease-laden vapors, carbon monoxide, smoke, steam, and odors. Grease deposits on surfaces attract pests and create fire hazards. Poor ventilation promotes mold growth, which produces allergenic spores and mycotoxins. Carbon monoxide from gas equipment causes headaches, dizziness, and can be fatal at high levels. Provide adequate mechanical ventilation to remove cooking fumes, smoke, steam, and odors. Maintain hood systems with clean filters — degrease monthly. Ensure adequate makeup air to prevent negative pressure. Provide sufficient lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces, 20 foot-candles in equipment/utensil areas, 10 foot-candles in walk-ins and storage.
