Plumbing system not approved or fixtures not cleanable (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: Observed spray nozzle attached to hose on mop sink faucet. The faucet at the mop sink has an AVB, which has been under pressure. Had PIC disconnect spray nozzle from the mop sink hose and explained to keep the spray nozzle disconnected when not in use. Discussed with PIC about having the AVB looked at by a plumber since it was under pressure to prevent failure. Explained to PIC that the AVB valve is not designed to be continuously under pressure and that there shouldn't be any obstructions downstream from the AVB valve. This could result in the backflow prevention device to fail
