MAPLEWOOD Health Officer
Frank Sailer and Police Chief
Richard Schaller inspected
Jimbo's Maple Leaf Lounge,
1696 White Bear Ave., in August
after"continuing complaints of
, the health hazards caused by
poor housekeeping and mainte-
nance."
Schaller informed the former
operators,,James Viner and Rus-
sell Bovee, that several prob-
lems were found in making the
inspection.
The kitchen stove and oven,
for example, are dirty`'and has
a grease accumulation," .
Schaller informed Viner and
Bovee. "The exhaust hood over
these units is in the same condi-
tions. This is a health and fire
hazard."
In addition, Schaller reported
that in"the basement area t.he.
floors are all filthy and need a
good clean up. Behind(the) base-
ment bar the floor is wet and
smells musty,"he added.
THE POLICE chief also
noted, "In the bottle storage area
of the basement the smell of
very stale beer is very repug-
nant."He added: "In this area
there is electrical wiring that
does not meet code and (there
are)exposed wires in one recept-
able in the ceiling of the store-
room.
Butt since the inspection in
August, the city staff reported,
"The premises are now in an ac-
ceptable condition, with the most
important items corrected and
those of a lesser nature in the
process of being corrected."
