Imperial County commercial kitchen compliance

Imperial County operates a numeric-deduction letter-grade system through the Public Health Department's Environmental Health Division. Each inspection begins with 100 points; point value from each marked violation is deducted; remaining points written as a percentage determine the letter grade. Standard CalCode Official Retail Food Inspection Report (OFIR) template with violations numbered 1-24 for Critical Risk Factors (Major 2-4 pts, Minor 2 pts) plus Good Retail Practices items 25-49 (1 pt each). Letter Grade Card (A/B/C) or Closure Notice issued at end of routine inspection per the verified threshold table: 90-100=A (generally superior, no re-score required), 80-89=B (generally good, no re-score required), 70-79=C (minimally acceptable, re-inspection required within 30 days), <70=Closure (poor practices, 24-hour minimum closure, must achieve at least B to reopen). Re-score inspection available once per calendar year by operator request with fee. Posted card must be in initial patron contact area within 5 feet of front door (front window OR mounted display case OR EHD-approved alternative). Card shall not be defaced, marred, reproduced, copied, camouflaged, hidden, or removed. Local enabling ordinance: Imperial County Code Title 8 Chapter 8.02, with misdemeanor enforcement per CA Penal Code §19 -- up to $1,000 fine or 6 months imprisonment, each day a violation continues being a separate offense. This is more aggressive penalty language than typical CA county food ordinances.
