Twelve restaurants and one bakery were closed between September 9 and October 5 in the San Fernando Valley area due to health hazards.

The food facilities health clearance has been suspended for either cockroaches, rodents, vermin, or no hot water, according to reports from the Los Angeles County Public Health Department.

Food establishments whose permits are suspended will have to close until another inspection determines that the issues have been resolved. Closures can occur during routine and owner-initiated inspections, complaint investigations, and re-inspections.

The department did not provide information about the types of cockroaches, rodents or vermin – how the number and where in the facility they were found.

If a food business is closed due to pest infestation, sewage problems or a lack of water, it loses a further seven points in addition to the four points that are deducted in the event of serious health violations. Every time two major health hazards, such as unsafe food temperatures, are observed, the facility loses another three points in its inspection rating.

Here are the facilities that have been closed. The grades and points listed were closed on the day
