Inspections and reinspections

Inspections may be routine, part of the disciplinary process, investigative, or ordered by the board. If an establishment or school's inspection report is marked as reinspection by inspector, the establishment or school must pay the appropriate reinspection fee as determined by North Dakota Century Code section 43-11-28. An establishment or school shall receive notice from the board when a reinspection fee is due as a result of a failed inspection. Reinspection may be warranted if there: 1. Is a critical violation, including a single serious violation related to health, sanitation, or safety, including improper disinfection, prohibited tools, cross-contamination, and not properly displaying licenses. Violations of this nature may warrant disciplinary action; 2. Are multiple noncritical violations. If an establishment or school accumulates two or more minor violations such as improper storage of tools, and cleanliness issues, inspectors may mark reinspect on inspection report; or 3. Is a failure to correct violations. If violations noted during a previous inspection are not addressed by the next inspection, a reinspection is required to ensure compliance. If violations are not addressed within the given time frame of reinspection, the board may take disciplinary action.
