Trump's NYC eateries written up for 'live mice,' other 'critical' health code violations in recent months




Mice in the kitchen, filthy food prep areas and broken sewage systems are on the list of recent stomach-turning health code violations at number of Trump-branded restaurants in the city, the Daily News has learned.

Health inspections at Trump properties from Midtown Manhattan to the Bronx’s Ferry Point reveal the President’s namesake company still struggles to keep its day-to-day operations clean — though similar infractions have been reported for years.

Violations at the President’s crown jewel and Manhattan residence — Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue — are perhaps the most gag-inducing.

City Department of Health inspectors visited the tower’s cafe and grill on July 11, 2018 and found “evidence of mice or live mice” in and around the kitchen, according to records that haven’t previously been reported. The inspectors categorized the violation as “critical.”

2. The plumbing was "crap"??

[Marie Marie]

27. So is the owner.

3. hmm - about those mice?

21. uhhh, that's a rat

as Johnny said in first grade, "A big fucking rat".

[appleannie1943]

4. Add some bedbugs and you have the Taj Mahol

[Voltaire2]

5. Who would eat at a trump facility?

The health inspectors should do the world a favor and ignore the violations.

[LibDemAlways]

38. I have some otherwise sane friends who

recently visited DC for the 1st time for a work related conference. I asked what they liked the most about the city and their response floored me. They were enamored with the bar at the Trump International Hotel. They enjoyed chatting it up with the bartender and couldn't beoieve how empty the place was because it was so nice. I should hasten to add that they aren't particularly politically savvy, but my God, in a city of historic sites, the bar at Trump's hotel? Bleeeeech!

6. Shut Them down.......................its that simple...................

health hazards are well, health hazards.....................he is not above the law.....................this makes me want to ..........

[oldsoftie]

13. Thats right. If the score is below a certain number or certain violations found, it SHOULD be shut.

I would think NYC has pretty strict rules on that.

[turbinetree]

18. You would think...................

[sir pball]

24. We do have very strict rules, NYCDOH is the strictest I've ever dealt with.

In terms of yellow-tagging (immediate closure) it's not a set number of points or any specific violation but rather the totality of the situation and how quickly violations can be rectified (e.g. you can toss warm food on the spot, but if your water is down you're screwed).

7. Mice in the kitchen, filthy food prep areas and broken sewage systems

[dalton99a]

8. Kick

[world wide wally]

9. Next time Trump brags about eliminating regulations you'll know why

[Wolf Frankula]

10. Live Mice

I won't go there. There should not be mice in the kitchen unless there are cats at the tables. And I call Trump Tower, and all the T-rump slums, Trump Toilets.

[oldsoftie]

14. "There should not be mice in the kitchen unless there are cats at the tables" BRAVO!!!

I think thats the funniest thing I have Read in a LONG time. It hit me just right

[yaesu]

11. You can't scrimp when it comes to pest control & sanitation, tRump likes to scrimp when it comes

to paying others for services or goods.

15. Live mice - and plenty of big, fat rats.

[Vinca]

16. Finally we've learned the secret about how the Trump women stay thin: Mouseburgers!

[sandensea]

17. Good.

That's what we'll feed them in Ft. Leavenworth.

[Bob Loblaw]

19. It's not the live ones you have to worry about

It's the ones that can't be accounted for.

[keithbvadu2]

20. Live mice - rewritten - Our food is fresh.

[CaptainTruth]

22. Trump just wants his rodent sushi to be fresh.

[sir pball]

23. You can get the full reports from the DOH, they're publicly available.

http://a816-restaurantinspection.nyc.gov/RestaurantInspection/SearchBrowse.do

Just search "Trump" for the four spots in the city.

Realistically, they aren't too bad at all and definitely nothing risking immediate closure...I know much more respectable places that have racked up way more points (40-60!) on the ungraded inspections; they're much pickier with those since you get a redo in a month to get your letter grade. "Evidence of mice" is actually pretty common, I've seen spots get dinged for that simply for having a hole in the baseboard.

25. This pretty much sums up his entire life:

“He has always been far more focused on creating an image for his properties than in spending what it takes to make them excellent,” the ex-associate told The News

[Docreed2003]

29. +1 This!

He's carried that same mentality to his Presidency...thus why he can't understand why people aren't lining up to praise him as "the best ever"

[bitterross]

26. Any time he or his family vists there are rodents there.

Don't forget all of the "best people" he hires that might visit them. That's a lot of rats.

[iluvtennis]

28. GAH. And the most disgusting thing is it's being done all in the name of money/profit margin.

[mpcamb]

30. "I'll have the mouseburger with the trump winery grocery store Meritage."

[procon]

31. No wonder Trump orders out for KFC and a Big Mac. nt

[Grammy23]

32. His claims to have first class establishments are about as honest as his Rose Garden

Announcements. He talks a good line when he shows the architecture and the menu for the dining rooms, but don’t look too closely in the kitchen. He does not care because he knows most people will never see the rat turds or standing water. They will see the big, shiny buildings and all that “gold” and assume it means everything else is good, too. But we’ve found out he cheats and cuts corners in construction, then stiffs the contractors he uses and abuses. So why not cheat in every other area, especially one that few customers will see?

Before his term is up or he gets booted out on his ass, I hope every bit of his cheating is exposed for all to see. Rat turds and all.

[dlk]

33. Time to Repeal those Onerous Government Regulations...

[joanbarnes]

34. perhaps he is only in 'business' to launder Russian mob money.....

and does not care one bit about a properly functioning cafe or hotel.

[eppur_se_muova]

35. Live mice ?!? The hors d'oeuvres have escaped ! nt

[SergeStorms]

36. The "Trump Foundation" used to pay for things like that.

Now the "Trump Foundation" can be found alongside such hits as "Trump Steaks, Trump Wine, Trump Air, Trump - The Magazine, Trump University" etc. etc. etc. Without a slush fund there isn't even enough money to pay off the Health Inspectors. As for the "live mice in the kitchen", I'm not at all sure they aren't served as appetizers on the "Trump Menu".

[Blue Owl]

37. Trump probably clogged his own sewage system with his greasy excretions

[Marcuse]

39. "I have the biggest mice! Nobody knows more about mice droppings than me!"

[CountAllVotes]

40. Do not, I repeat DO NOT

Do not eat in this sh*thole place that is filled with crap!!

You might get sick and if you are fortunate.

If you are not fortunate, you could die from eating contaminated food.

One sh*thole down.

How many more tRump sh*tholes are there to close?

DUMP tRUMP today!

& recommend!!

[magicarpet]

41. Why can't trDump coat the mice in a nice egg and flour...

.... batter,.. then deep fry them.

He could serve them up with ketchup and call them "Fried Rodent Delites".

That would help bring his rodent population at his eatery under control.
