A Calgary nightclub that was ordered to close earlier this month<\/a> after health inspectors found evidence of cockroaches and mould growth has reopened.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fire N Ice Restaurant and Bar said in a post on Instagram on the weekend that it\u2019s \u201cupgraded and ready to impress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alberta Health Services inspectors found an \u201cabundance of cockroaches in all cycles of life\u201d on glue boards in the facility and live cockroaches during a check.<\/p>\n

In a notice issued to the club\u2019s owners, AHS said it found that equipment and surfaces in the food establishment area had \u201can accumulation of grease, soil, and food debris,\u201d and customer washrooms were not clean.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomer washrooms were unclean. Waste baskets were overflowing, and waste was present on floors. In some areas of the customer washroom, wallpaper and\/or paint was peeled away from the wall,\u201d the notice read.<\/p>\n

The notice also said the club\u2019s lower level, excluding the kitchen, contained \u201can abundance of non-food related items,\u201d including excess furniture, fibreglass insulation and other construction material.<\/p>\n

\u201cConditions were approaching hoarding,\u201d the notice indicates.<\/p>\n

AHS ordered the owners to immediately undertake several tasks, including working with a pest control company and thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces and equipment.<\/p>\n

It added that the work must be completed by June 10, and once it meets AHS\u2019s standards, it will be allowed to reopen.<\/p>\n

In its Instagram post, Fire N Ice said the areas inspectors were concerned with have not been open to the public \u201cfor over two years \u2013 a fact known to many of our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring that time, the area was used strictly for storage. We were unaware that, as part of our licensing requirements, this space must be maintained in a condition ready for customer use,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, it was not regularly accessed or maintained. However, all issues have now been resolved accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nightclub went on to say it retained three pest control companies for inspections, and is implementing \u201cenhanced procedures\u201d going forward.<\/p>\n
