The inspection report revealed at least a dozen violations related to food safety.

Inspectors said that food such as tilapia, par-cooked chicken wings, cod, shrimp, and catfish were all above safe temperatures.

Freezers and refrigerators were either not working as well as they should be or weren't working at all, according to inspectors.

Several other issues were mentioned in the inspection report, like employee hygiene, improper cleaning and sanitation, and plumbing issues, among other things. 

When the closure order is lifted, the health department will update its Food Safety page.
