CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – The owner of a Sergio's Americas Bakery in Coral Springs apparently didn't get it when he was ordered shut back in August for a roach issue.
Records show a state inspector was back again last week and the problems still exist.
In August, 35 violations were found.
An inspector saw over 70 live and dead roaches in several spots inside the kitchen and by the front counter and display case.
A stop sale was ordered on dried corn in a bowl because a roach was crawling on it.
Last week, roach issues were found again.
Records show inspectors have been to Sergio's 11 times in 2017.
Below is a list of places that were ordered shut last week and some of their violations.
All the places mentioned were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and re-inspection.
