Consumer Alert: Pittsburgh Eatery's Health Code Violations Detailed

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Allegheny County Health Department has issued a consumer alert for Quik-It-Chicken, on Pennsylvania Avenue in the city's California-Kirkbride section, for numerous health code violations.

During an inspection on Tuesday, a live roach was found in an unused pizza oven. Roach egg casings were noted in the unused pizza over, as well as in paperwork across from an unused ice machine and inside of the mechanical portion of an on-counter steamer.

Apparent rodent droppings were discovered under shelving in a utility closet. Apparent insect droppings were found on multiple surfaces in areas storing paperwork.

An accumulation of food debris was observed on utensils throughout the facility.

A restaurant with a consumer alert placard is allowed to operate for a temporary period not exceeding 10 days. Another inspection is conducted either prior to the expiration of the temporary period upon request of the eatery owner or on the tenth day.

If the problems are not corrected within that 10-day window, the business could be ordered to close.
