A mobile food vending unit must have a letter grade posted at all times, as required by these rules.
(a) The Department shall at the time of inspection issue and post a letter grade "A" on a unit that receives a score of less than 14 points on an initial or reinspection.
(b) If a mobile food vending unit receives a score of 14 or more points on an initial inspection, and is not closed by the Department, it shall continue to post its grade from the prior inspection cycle until its reinspection. If the unit has been issued no prior grade card, it shall have no posting until its reinspection.
(c) If a mobile food vending unit receives a score of 14 or more points on the reinspection, and is not closed by the Department, the Department shall post on the unit a "grade pending" card. If the permit-holder elects to have the grade of "B" or "C" earned at the reinspection posted to the unit instead of a "grade pending" card, the permit-holder may contact the Department to arrange for the unit to be brought to a place designated by the Department so the Department may post the preliminary grade.
(d) Grading after adjudication of summonses. Where a unit scores 14 or more points on a reinspection and was issued one or more summons for findings made at that inspection, the following shall apply:
(1) Except as described in paragraph (2) of this subdivision, within 42 days of the reinspection date that generated the summons, the permit-holder shall contact the Department to arrange for the posting of the final letter grade for that inspection cycle.
(2) If the permit-holder adjudicates all summonses associated with the reinspection on or before the hearing date listed on those summonses but has not received hearing decisions within 42 days from the time of reinspection, the permit-holder may continue to post a "grade pending" card until hearing decisions are issued. In this instance, the permit-holder shall have five (5) days from the date of decision to contact the Department to arrange for posting of the final letter grade for that inspection cycle.
(3) It shall be the duty of the permit-holder to check the status of summons and comply with the timeframes of this section for the posting of letter grades.
