When must re-inspections to raise a letter grade be conducted?

Re-inspections to raise a letter grade must be conducted within 15 calendar days of the request. This timeline is stipulated to ensure that establishments have a clear and prompt opportunity to demonstrate improvements in their operations following a previous inspection. Quick follow-up assessments not only help maintain high standards of food safety and service quality but also encourage establishments to address any identified issues efficiently. Ensuring this timeframe promotes accountability and responsiveness, which are essential in maintaining public health and safety standards within the food and lodging sectors.
