Overview

• The Somerset County Department of Health’s May 6 inspection gave the club a 32/100 score with 18 violations, nine deemed critical, marking the lowest rating among 115 local establishments.
• Inspectors flagged expired milk, raw meat stored above ready-to-eat foods, a dishwasher failing to reach the required 180°F and four separate hand-washing breaches.
• The person in charge was cited for lacking basic food-safety knowledge, which itself constitutes a health code violation.
• Under county rules limiting a reinspection to a maximum B grade, the June 4 follow-up review elevated the club’s score to 86/100 while two critical breaches remained uncorrected.
• General manager David Schutzenhofer called the health report politically motivated and defended the club’s cleanliness and safety standards.
