Owner comment: I am a new owner, and the last time Roma failed, I wasn't even aware of the failed inspection. I was in the process of buying the place when that happened. So, we got failed again because we didn't even know about the scheduled re-inspection. Every single thing was fixed before the health inspector left, and we have been inspected again, and we're in compliance.
