A restaurant in Pittsburgh is working to have a Consumer Alert removed after an inspection on Tuesday.
The Allegheny County Health Department says Las Velas in Market Square is still under alert on Wednesday after issues with a malfunctioning refrigeration and a damaged ventilation system.
During a reinspection Wednesday, raw steak and tamales were found between 43 and 44 degrees.
Inspectors says that the ambient air temperature of the cooler was down to 43-44 degrees after it was higher the day before and technicians were actively working to repair the cooler.
The kitchen had a “smoky” cook line with and fire suppression system tagged from 2024.
Inspectors say an ANSUL technician arrived during the inspection.
While the last two violations were considered “low-risk”, the Consumer Alert remains in place until the servicing of the ventilation hood, ANSUL system and walk-in cooler are completed.
