THE DUMPLING COVE

Critical items (temperature abuse, vermin, contamination) drive the score and are re-checked first at re-inspection.

Roach, rodent, or fly evidence — the violations most likely to escalate to closure when they recur.

Unpaid summonses accrue interest, dock as judgments, and surface on every license and permit renewal.

Scheduled OATH hearings — answer early or appear; an unanswered summons becomes a default at the maximum penalty.
