Myrtle Ave Seafood Restaurant Shuttered For Mice, Sewage Problems

CLINTON HILL, BROOKLYN — A Caribbean seafood restaurant on Myrtle Ave has been closed by health inspectors for mice and other violations.

Wray's Caribbean and Seafood Cuisine was given 40 violation points after an inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene last week, records show. Any score more than 28 requires the department to shut down the business.

Inspectors found evidence of mice or live mice present in the restaurants food or non-food areas, the report shows. They also discovered that sanitized utensils were not properly stored, that the facility was not vermin proof and that the plumbing was not properly installed or maintained.

There was no backflow-prevention device provided where required and the sewage disposal system was in disrepair or not functioning properly, the report shows.

Wray's is found at 503 Myrtle Avenue and is described online as a restaurant where "Caribbean flavors meet seafood in a brick-walled space with eclectic art & a few sidewalk tables."

The owners could not immediately be reached for comment.
