Day Darmet Catering Inc in San Francisco's Bayview district received a conditional pass during this inspection on November 25, 2025, allowing the catering facility to continue operations while addressing multiple minor violations requiring correction. The routine health inspection conducted between 10:00 AM and 11:15 AM identified 11 total violations that need attention but did not warrant closure of the establishment located at 1068 Revere Avenue.
Inspection Details
The inspection revealed one critical violation, seven major violations, and three minor violations that the facility must address to achieve full compliance. The most pressing issue involved inadequate hot water temperatures at washing stations, with the three-compartment sink measuring only 112°F when regulations require at least 120°F. Additionally, the two-compartment sink had no hot water availability during the inspection, creating challenges for proper sanitization procedures. Handwashing facilities presented another area requiring immediate attention. Inspectors found the kitchen handwashing sink lacking a liquid soap dispenser and discovered a missing pipe underneath, causing water to pour directly onto the floor when activated. This infrastructure issue compromises the facility's ability to maintain proper hygiene standards for food preparation staff.Food Safety and Cleanliness Concerns
The inspection identified the presence of fruit flies and flies within the kitchen area, categorized as a critical violation due to pest control requirements. Storage practices also needed improvement, with inspectors noting boxes containing canned beverages stored directly on the floor in the wine storage room, violating proper food storage protocols. Equipment maintenance emerged as a recurring theme throughout the inspection. The facility's ice machine showed black slimy substance buildup requiring regular cleaning and sanitization. Food storage shelves in both the walk-in cooler and upright reach-in refrigerator displayed rust and food debris accumulation. One upright two-door freezer was missing its bottom cover, and a reach-in refrigerator lacked the required thermometer for temperature monitoring.Sanitation Station Setup
Preparation areas lacked proper sanitizer stations, with inspectors finding empty buckets and wiping cloths stored inappropriately beneath sanitizer containers. The facility also showed signs of environmental maintenance needs, including soil and debris buildup in walk-in cooler corners and black-brown stains on walls near the three-compartment sink that appeared to show mold development.Management and Compliance Timeline
The facility's food safety manager certification had lapsed, requiring immediate attention. The owner indicated their chef had recently left the position, necessitating completion of a new Manager Food Safety examination within 30 days of the inspection notice. This certification requirement ensures proper food safety knowledge at the management level.Continued Operations
Despite these violations, the conditional pass allows Day Darmet Catering to continue serving customers while implementing corrective measures. The restaurant industry designation enables the facility to maintain operations during the correction period, providing time to address infrastructure issues like plumbing repairs and equipment maintenance without disrupting business continuity. The facility serves the Bayview community near T-Third Muni transit lines and must complete all corrections to achieve full compliance during the next inspection cycle. This represents the establishment's first recorded inspection in available public records, indicating either new operations or recent permit acquisition.
