Tep’s Seafood, Capitol Box Lunch, and the Golden Gate, tenants of the Stone Building, have been told they cannot reopen, city spokesman Robert Philbin said in a statement released late Thursday afternoon.

The Broad Street Market’s Brick Building, along Sixth Street, is still deemed unfit as an eating establishment from the most recent inspection on Thursday, the city said.

The historic midtown venue

after inspectors found cockroaches and mice.

In February 2010, the market closed for two weeks after city and state Department of Agriculture inspectors found violations that included evidence of rodents, as well as a lack of hot water in the restrooms.

The Broad Street Market dates to 1860 and is known as the oldest continuously operated market house in the United States. The market is owned by the city and managed by the Broad Street Market Corp.
