(a) Findings of serious and persistent violations or uncorrected public health hazards on any sanitary inspection may provide the basis for commencement of a proceeding to revoke or suspend a permit pursuant to 24 RCNY Health Code Article 5.
(b) The Department shall post signs on any establishment that it orders closed indicating that such establishment is not open to the public and shall remove any posted grade-related card.
(c) Prior to authorizing any closed establishment being allowed to re-open, the Department shall conduct a re-opening inspection. The Department may conduct as many inspections as it deems necessary to determine whether the establishment is in compliance with applicable law and may be reopened for operation.
(d) If an establishment that is required by 24 RCNY Health Code § 81.51 to post a letter grade is closed and then allowed to re-open, upon re-opening, the grade card that had been posted by the establishment before the closure will be posted again, except that where the closure occurred on the establishment's initial inspection, a "grade pending" card shall be posted, and any grade card previously posted shall be removed, and where the closure occurred on a reinspection a "grade pending" card or the letter grade card corresponding to the score on the reinspection shall be posted.
