§ 6-18 Intervals Between Inspection Cycles.
RCNY § 6-18
(a)The time between a completed cycle and the initial inspection in the next inspection cycle for a unit that receives 14 or more points on its initial inspection shall be determined by the higher score from either its initial inspection or its reinspection.
(1)An initial inspection commencing a new cycle shall be conducted approximately one year after issuance of an "A" grade to a unit that received less than 14 points on its initial inspection in the previous cycle.
(2)An initial inspection commencing a new inspection cycle shall be conducted 150 - 210 days after the reinspection of any unit that receives a score of 14 - 27 points on an initial inspection or reinspection and does not score 28 or more points on either of these inspections.
(3)An initial inspection commencing a new inspection cycle shall be conducted 90 to 150 days after the final inspection of the cycle of a unit that receives a score of 28 or more points on its initial inspection or reinspection.
(4)An initial inspection commencing a new inspection cycle shall be conducted within 60 to 120 days of reopening for a unit that is authorized by the Department to reopen following a Department closure that occurs on an initial or reinspection of that unit.
(b)When there is an increased risk to public health as determined by the Department, nothing in these rules shall prevent the Department from inspecting a unit and treating that inspection as the initial inspection in a new inspection cycle. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, a unit having a history of Department closure(s), being the subject of complaints of unsanitary conditions, or being compromised following an environmental emergency.
(c)Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a new inspection cycle shall commence whenever: (1) A mobile food vending unit changes from a pushcart to a vehicle or from a vehicle to a pushcart, as such terms are defined in 24 RCNY Health Code Article 89.
