Roaches in one kitchen, brown tap water in a hospital, and an emergency roasting-room check at Central Market all landed on Plano’s latest health-inspection report for June 7–13. City inspectors completed 98 checks in that stretch, flagging multiple serious problems, ordering at least one closure, and requiring follow-up inspections or permit action when scores slid. One struggling restaurant only made it back into business after corrections and a third visit from inspectors produced a near-perfect score.

How closures and re-inspections work

Plano’s food code lets inspectors declare an imminent health hazard, shut down operations on the spot, and require contaminated food to be tossed. Follow-up inspections and related fees are then used to verify that problems are fixed. That setup explains why some businesses were ordered closed immediately, while others were allowed to keep operating as long as they corrected violations and requested re-inspection. For the city’s rules on suspensions, product disposal, and re-inspection procedures, see the City of Plano code.

What inspectors found

Among the week’s standouts, Eat Street Indian Kitchen was ordered to remain closed after live roaches were found throughout the kitchen and both the initial and follow-up scores landed in the high 60s. The business must complete treatment by a certified pest operator, remove live and dead roaches, and pay a follow-up fee before reopening. Inspectors also reported live and dead roaches in a back storage area at Nan Hot Pot. Mo’s Fiery Chicken & BBQ saw its food permit suspended after a low score, then later reopened only after a third inspection yielded a score of 99.

Health staff carried out an emergency inspection at H‑E‑B Central Market following a reported coffee-bean roasting fire and instructed the store to discard food that had been exposed to smoke. At Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital, inspectors cited the facility after intermittent brown water at sinks led staff to halt food preparation and throw out tomato soup that had been made with the discolored water, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

What customers and operators should know

Concerned diners are allowed to ask for the most recent inspection report. City rules require that the latest report be available to customers on request or posted in a visible spot. On the operator side, documenting pest-control work and plumbing repairs can help speed re-inspection. Scheduling certified pest treatment, fixing hot and cold holding or plumbing issues, and paying any required follow-up fees are the standard steps to restore a suspended permit. Those procedures are laid out in the city code and form the routine path officials use to protect public health after a problematic inspection, per the City of Plano code.
