State inspectors cited President Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago golf resort in November for 15 food violations and poor maintenance, after it was revealed there were concerns with smoke detectors and a hazardous staircase.
State records reveal the resort’s two primary kitchens received 15 violations during the inspections for issues including failing to monitor freshness of certain foods, such as storing milk at an unsafe temperature, according to the Miami Herald.
However, the kitchens still passed the inspections and did not need to be rechecked.
Shortly after the inspections, Trump spent the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays at the resort.
The report also showed the bed-and-breakfast part of the resort required emergency repairs determined to be of high priority. The records show that there were not enough smoke detectors that flashed to notify the hearing impaired and that some concrete was absent from a staircase, revealing a potentially dangerous steel rebar, the Herald reported.
“High priority lodging violations are those which could pose a direct or significant threat to the public health, safety, or welfare,” the inspection code says.
The resort was inspected again a little more than a week later and did meet the “inspection standards” at that point, the state inspection report revealed.
