Not only must every restaurateur renew
the health permit annually, but any change
in the restaurant’s legal ownership
requires a new permit.
The health department ascribes to each
restaurant location a specific identification
number. This ID is a permanent number
that does not change with a change in
ownership. Similarly, each restaurant
owner has a specific identification number.
A comparison of the ownership and
location ID numbers reveals any change in
restaurant ownership, as well as providing
information regarding multiple locations
operated by the same owner.
