Initial Inspection. Every restaurant is scheduled for an unannounced inspection at least once
a year. A restaurant that scores 0 to 13 violation points on this inspection, called the “initial
inspection,” receives an A grade.
Re-inspection. A restaurant that does not receive an A on its initial inspection does not
receive a grade until it receives a re-inspection. The re-inspection will occur at least a week
after the initial inspection, giving the restaurant a chance to improve its sanitary conditions.
At the end of the re-inspection the restaurant will receive a grade card. If the grade is an A,
the card must be posted immediately. If the grade is a B or C, the restaurant will also receive
a card that says “Grade Pending.”
The restaurant has the choice of immediately posting either
the grade card or the Grade Pending card until it has a chance to be heard at the Health
Department’s Administrative Tribunal.
