Some businesses with scores lower than some of those that failed didn’t have any major four-point violations, so they passed even though their scores were lower.
If a food service establishment fails an inspection, it can be closed if an inspector determines there’s an imminent risk to public health if it were to stay open.
Otherwise, the business will be brought to a hearing at the health department and eventually inspected again.
The inspection forms are available for public view at the health department’s offices at 468 Birdseye St.
