PLANTATION, Fla. – Roosters are part of the landscape in Key West, but a state inspector doesn’t want them in a food preparation area.

Among the violations -- a rooster and chickens in a food prep area and the dining area.
There were also roach and fly issues, as well as hand washing issues.
The flies and roaches also seem to like the Contour Day Spa in Plantation.
That inspection was based on a consumer complaint.
Below is a list of places that were ordered shut and some of their violations.
ALL the places mentioned were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and re-inspection.
