Wednesday, Dr. Piotr Oglaza said public health inspectors had been to visit JAKK’s several times over the intervening days, but the restaurant continued to operate while flouting the order.
Later that evening, KFL&A Public Health said it was successful in their application to the Superior Court for an injunction to uphold the requirements of their order.
