Blue violations relate to the overall cleanliness and condition of operation and must be corrected according to a compliance schedule established by the health officer. Any establishment receiving more than 45 red demerit points or over 65 total demerit points shall be automatically reinspected in 10 days. If an establishment exceeds those limits twice in a calendar year, the permit shall be suspended immediately.
