Summary
Danbury's Director of Health assesses a reinspection fee whenever a food establishment fails an inspection, and also when an operator formally requests a re-check to improve its rating or inspection score.
A reinspection fee shall be assessed whenever a food establishment fails an inspection. A reinspection fee shall also be assessed whenever a food establishment formally requests that a reinspection be performed in order to improve its rating or inspection score. Requested reinspections shall only be performed after a written itemization of corrective measures is submitted by the applicant, together with the appropriate reinspection fee.

Full Breakdown
City Code § 16-67 ties reinspections to Danbury's food-establishment rating system: a reinspection fee applies automatically after a failed inspection, and an operator can also request one to raise a poor score. Requested reinspections aren't scheduled until the operator files a written itemization of corrective measures with the Director of Health, along with the fee. The rule sits inside the food-establishment licensing article, which lets the Director suspend or revoke a license for continued noncompliance under §§ 16-62 and 16-63.
Violations & Fines
Skip the itemization or fee and Danbury won't schedule the reinspection, so a failed score or suspended license under §§ 16-62–16-63 stands until you comply.
