Wayne County restaurants get 10–30 days after a failed inspection to correct violations. Every open violation at re-inspection costs you points or closes the restaurant. Here is everything you need to know, and how to fix it fast.
Deadlines are typical for Wayne County. Always verify with Wayne County Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services — Environmental Health Division.
The inspector returns to recheck every violation from the original report. They will verify that corrective actions were actually taken, not just that the symptom was temporarily fixed.
For Priority violations this means documented evidence: temperature logs showing proper cold-hold since the original inspection, signed employee illness agreements, corrected food handling observed on-site. A corrected temperature reading alone is not enough if the underlying practice has not changed.
Inspectors may also flag new violations they observe during the re-inspection visit. A re-inspection is not limited to the original violation list.
Correcting the condition without documenting it. Bring written proof to every re-inspection, even for violations that seem obvious to verify.
Priority violations must be corrected Priority violations must be corrected within 24–72 hours. Priority Foundation violations are due 10 days for Priority Foundation violations. Core violations have 90 days for Core violations. Always confirm the exact deadline with Wayne County Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services — Environmental Health Division.
Wayne County may issue additional fines, schedule a second re-inspection, or, for serious ongoing violations, suspend your operating permit. Restaurants with scores indicating an imminent health hazard risk immediate closure.
Re-inspection fees in Wayne County are typically $100–$250 per re-inspection. Fees vary by violation count and may increase for repeat failures. Verify current fees with Wayne County Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services — Environmental Health Division.
Bring your Corrective Action Plan showing what was fixed and when, staff training sign-off sheets, temperature logs covering the period since the original inspection, and any invoices for equipment repairs or pest control.
Imminent health hazard triggers immediate closure order; establishment may not reopen until violation is corrected and a passing re-inspection is completed. For violations that do not trigger an immediate closure, you can typically continue operating while corrections are made, but all Priority violations must be corrected by the deadline or you risk closure at re-inspection.
