The celebration of the re-opening of Jay-Z’s “40/40″ club was cut short when code enforcers shut the spot down for health code violations. According to public records, inspectors slapped the posh club with 69 violation points.
According to reports, the decision to shut it down was made on Thursday January 19 after food was not being stored at the proper temperatures, a food worker did not use a proper utensil to eliminate bare-hand contact with food that was going to be served cold, and personal cleanliness was found inadequate (no hair nets, etc.).
A rep from the club says the club is back open after the necessary changes and repairs were completed the following day.
The DOH website now notes only two violations. The staff obviously hustled to get things back in working order and boost their rating from the equivalent of a C to an A when inspectors returned on Friday.
