"The contractor told them it was cheaper to put in new rather than clean the old"
I said this once, all I got was two days of scrapping. O’ Well got paid pretty good anyway.
Maybe my prices are to Low!
A Huntington restaurant was temporarily closed in order to meet a deadline for
compliance with fire code requirements, but has now reopened.
The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant, 1982 N. Jefferson St., was given a 10-day
deadline by the Huntington Board of Public Works and Safety on Feb. 7 to clean
or replace its kitchen's exhaust system.
The exhaust system had a heavy buildup of grease which posed a fire hazard, said
Steve Gray, the city's fire marshal.
"They are now back up to par," said Gray.
Great Wall replaced their whole exhaust system with a new one. "The contractor
told them it was cheaper to put in new rather than clean the old," Gray said.
Gray said the restaurant now meets fire code and is in compliance with the Board
of Works mandate, but was closed during the construction as required by the
Huntington County Department of Health.
"They were closed during the construction mess and the cleanup," said Mike
Mettler, the county's chief sanitarian, "but, I was there yesterday and gave
them the OK."
An employee who answered the phone at the restaurant Friday morning confirmed
that it was open for business.
