Full Breakdown
The Department scores every routine inspection starting at 100 points, deducting 5 points per priority violation, 3 per priority-foundation violation, and 2 per core violation under § 170.27(B). The resulting letter grade goes on a placard within five feet of the main entrance, or on the drive-through window if applicable. A score of 60 points or less, or any imminent health hazard, closes the establishment until priority violations are corrected and re-inspected.
Violations & Fines
Failing to display the grade costs $100 for every day the placard is missing, under § 170.07(C); unresolved priority violations trigger mandatory re-inspection fees and can lead to permit revocation under § 170.34.
