(A) Inspection required. The Health Authority will inspect each body art establishment before issuing a license for a new establishment, as part of a construction or remodeling plan review, as part of a complaint investigation, or at least once a year for a routine inspection, and as necessary to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
(B) Construction inspections. The body art establishment must be constructed in conformance with the approved plans. The Health Authority may inspect the body art establishment as frequently as necessary during the construction to ensure that the construction occurs in conformance with this chapter. The licensee or owner must contact the Health Authority to schedule a final inspection prior to the start of operations and issuance of a license or to resume operations after remodeling.
(C) Access to premises and records. The operator of the body art establishment must, upon request of the Health Authority and after proper identification, permit access to all parts of the establishment at any reasonable time, for the purpose of inspection. The operator must allow review of any records necessary for the Health Authority to ascertain compliance to this chapter.
(D) Interference with the Health Authority. No person may interfere with or hinder the Health Authority in the performance of its duties, or refuse to permit the Health Authority to make such inspections.
(E) Removal and correction of violations. Operator(s) or technician(s) must correct or remove each violation upon receipt of an inspection report giving notification of one or more violations of this chapter in a reasonable length of time as determined by the Health Authority. The length of time for the correction or removal of each such violation shall be noted on the inspection report. Failure to remove or correct each violation within the time period noted on the inspection report will constitute a separate violation of this chapter. The Health Authority may issue orders to halt construction or remodeling, or to take corrective measures to ensure compliance with this chapter.
