The cease operations order is still active, L&I told me, but the Dept. of Health did confirm that Roxanne initiated the process for getting a food license by submitting a plan of review. They're in the process of setting up a health inspection.

HOWEVER

Roxanne's first location at 912 Christian Street also never had a food license or health inspection, the city officially confirmed. "Our records indicate that she did start the process to apply for a Food Preparation and Serving License in 2022, but the application was ultimately abandoned,” an L&I spokesperson told me.

All of this is in the article (which doesn't have a paywall), and I am posting, again, because this sub has been very interested in Roxanne. As always, AMA and I will do my best to respond.

The oven caused both explosions, the fire department said, and L&I has since deemed New York Bagels unsafe to occupy. If repairs are not made within 30 days, L&I warned that it could move to vacate or demolish the property.

Again, always happy to answer any questions y'all may have since I know the initial news of the second explosion left a lot of people (myself included!) very heartbroken.
