Requirements
Before a new owner occupies a building, all requirements of current city ordinances must be met. This means an existing restaurant and building it is in must be brought up to code if it does not meet current standards. This includes, but is not limited to:
Equipment
Fixtures such as sinks, grease traps, and interceptors
You are encouraged to call for a preliminary code compliance / design meeting to get answers to any questions before final plans are submitted. The attendees of this meeting typically are the Building Official or Chief Building Inspector, a Commercial Plans Reviewer, an Environmental Health Specialist and the Fire Marshal.
Before occupying a new, existing or remodeled restaurant or food establishment, the following items/documents are required:
A Health Final Inspection (available by appointment with Health & Food Safety)
A single trade-specific permit or a full building permit submittal may be required (depending on changes proposed to space)
Final inspection approval and payment must be made prior to issuance of the permits. The permit fee will depend upon classification of the food establishment.
Once the final inspections are made and passed, the health permit placard will be issued electronically. The owner must request the Certificate of Occupancy (CO) by emailing Building Inspections.
