Content of Inspection Reports. Whenever a Health Inspector makes an inspection, he shall notify the permit holder or person in charge of such violations by means of an inspection report as provided in 3 CMC § 2129. In such notification, the Health Inspector shall: (a) Set forth the specific violations found, together with the demerit score of the establishment; (b) Establish a specific and reasonable period of time for correction of the violations found as specified in 3 CMC § 2132. (c) State that failure to correct any deficiencies in accordance with the provisions of any applicable laws, rules or regulations may result in suspension of the permit; (d) State that an opportunity for appeal from any inspection findings will be provided if a written request for a hearing is filed with the Secretary within the period of time established for notice of corrections; and (e) Request that the person in charge sign an acknowledgment of receipt of the inspection report. However, failure or refusal to sign receipt of the inspection report shall not relieve the permit holder or person in charge from the obligation to correct the violations noted in the inspection report within the specified time frame.
