Inspections are performed at the county health departments (CHD) . Each CHD is responsible for all DOH-regulated food service establishments located within their county.
There are several types of inspections that are performed. The types of inspections that you may see in this report are routine inspections, re-inspections, and complaint inspections.
Routine inspections
Periodic inspections that are performed as a part of the ongoing food safety system.
There is no prior notice or pre-arranged time frame before the inspector arrives.
Re-inspections
Completed when a facility has violations that need corrections in more than the standard timeframe.
A specific date violations must be corrected and an arranged time will be scheduled for the re-inspection.
