PITTSBURGH — A Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood was issued a consumer alert after inspectors found over a dozen violations.

According to a report, inspectors found 15 violations at Jian’s Kitchen on Thursday. Of those violations, three are considered a high risk for foodborne illness or injury.

The report states inspectors found fresh rodent droppings throughout the facility. They also located dead cockroaches, egg casings and droppings on the cookline.

The other high risk violations listed include food held at too warm of temperatures and the blade of a slicer soiled with food debris.

Other lower-level violations cited in the report include “foul-smelling” yellow grease around a grease trap, many containers of prepared foods without date marking and issues with the kitchen’s exhaust hood.

A re-inspection is scheduled for Feb. 17.
