Sec. 414. Food establishments—inspections.

Regular visits shall be made by the representatives of the
Health Officer to all food establishments for the purpose of examining
the methods practiced in the handling and disposing of
foods and ascertain if the provisions of these regulations are
being complied with. The representatives of the Health Officer
shall "score" on a score card adopted by the Board of Health
each food establishment. If two successive inspections made at
least one week apart reveal the successive scores below the minimum
score allowed by the Board of Health the permit of that
food establishment may be revoked by the Health Officer. If
any particularly unsanitary condition is found on inspection, the
Health Officer, in his discretion, may revoke the permit immediately.
If any person owning or operating any food establishment
as defined in section 395 shall hinder, obstruct or refuse access,
ingress or egress to any officer of the Department of
Health, while upon his official duties as inspector of the food
establishment, said food establishment shall have its permit revoked.
