(A) The completed inspection form shall specify a reasonable period of time for the correction of violations found. Corrections of all violations shall be accomplished within the period specified, in accordance with the following provisions.
(1) If an imminent health hazard is determined by the Health Officer to exist, such as, but not limited to, those created by an extended loss of water supply, an extended power outage or sewage back-up into the food service, the food service shall immediately cease operations. Operations shall not be resumed until authorized by the Health Officer.
(2) All critical item violations shall be corrected immediately or within any period specified by the Health Officer, but in any event, shall not exceed ten days following inspection. A time extension may be granted by the Health Officer upon documentation and evidence that corrective action is ongoing. The documentation shall not, however, guarantee an extension of the period for correction. A follow-up inspection shall be conducted to confirm correction.
(3) All non-critical item violations shall be corrected as determined by the Health Officer, but in any event, shall be corrected by the time of the next routine inspection.
(4) In the case of temporary food establishments, all corrections shall be completed prior to the issuance of a license to operate. All violations noted after issuance of a temporary food establishment license shall be corrected immediately.
(B) Failure to comply with divisions (A)(1), (A)(2), (A)(3) and/or (A)(4) above may result in a revocation of the license to operate the food service. If any person fails to maintain and operate a temporary food establishment in compliance with any valid order of the Health Officer, the license of that food service shall automatically expire, and the further sale or serving of food shall be prohibited. Any person continuing to sell or serve food in a temporary food establishment, whose license has expired hereunder, may be referred to the County Prosecutor or the County Attorney for enforcement action.
