Queens, NY
Published: August 21, 2025
Queens, NY - Health department officials identified compliance issues at LA AURORA in an inspection dated 02/12/2025.
Situated at 23917 BRADDOCK AVE, the establishment is part of Rosedale's active food service sector. The Rosedale area undergoes regular health inspections as part of the city's comprehensive food safety monitoring program.
The inspection identified 2 distinct violations requiring correction. These findings represent specific conditions observed during the inspection that must be addressed to meet health code requirements.
The first violation involved thermal management. Inspectors documented: Hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F.. The FDA Food Code requires cold foods to be held at 41°F or below and hot foods at 135°F or above to prevent bacterial growth in the "danger zone." For more information, see FDA guidelines on temperature control. The CDC reports that temperature abuse is a factor in many foodborne illness outbreaks.
The second violation involved food storage practices. Inspectors documented: Swollen, leaking, rusted or otherwise damaged canned food to be returned to distributor not segregated from intact product and clearly labeled DO NOT USE. Improper storage can lead to cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat foods.
The correction of health violations is monitored through follow-up inspections and documentation requirements. Establishments must demonstrate that they have addressed the root causes of violations, not just the immediate symptoms.
