Lafayette Coney Island is open again after voluntarily closing due to a rodent infestation.
The iconic coney island reopened Tuesday.
Known for its famous hot dogs topped with chili, mustard, and onions, shuttered on Jan. 25 after an inspection revealed rodent droppings, said Denise Fair Razo, Detroit’s chief public health officer, at a Tuesday morning press conference inside Lafayette Coney Island.

Razo said the restaurant was cleared to reopen after making “significant upgrades” and passing inspection on Monday. One significant change included sealing holes in the restaurant's walls, where rats are suspected of entering.
She commended Lafayette Coney Island for taking the steps to remedy the situation.
This is a developing story.
