Our restaurant has been repeatedly cited for health code violations, but since we cannot afford to close down temporarily for repairs, are there any other options available?

Yes, depending on the nature of the violations, there are other options available. Your restaurant could temporarily obtain a permit to serve food in non-severely affected areas (e.g. Outdoor seating without access to cooking facilities), obtain an emergency waiver for severely affected areas, or work with your local health inspector to establish a plan of action which may include increased inspections and training for your staff on proper hygiene standards.

You can contact your local health department for assistance in finding trained staff to help remediate the violations. You may also be able to apply for a loan or grant that can support repairing or upgrading restaurant facilities and infrastructure.
