periodically, but not any less often than specified in this section:
1. Type Aa through Aj life hazard uses: once
every 12 months, except day nurseries and daycare centers with a maximum
permitted occupancy of 100 or more which shall be inspected once every six
months. Retroactive to January 1, 2021, day nurseries and daycare centers with

the public health emergency, the requirements to inspect these facilities once
in the first six months and once in the last six months are modified to

the cyclical inspection requirements will revert back to those as specified in
the first sentence of this paragraph.

every 12 months.

Where a life hazard use is operated on a seasonal basis, the number of required
annual inspections shall not be reduced. Inspections of type Ca through Ci and

of the year shall be conducted immediately prior to opening and closing and
twice during operation of the use.
(c) Within 30 days following each annual and
every other quarterly inspection of a life hazard use, the owner shall file an
application for a certificate of inspection on forms provided by the local
enforcing agency. Forms shall be provided either before or at the time of
inspection. The form shall be returned to the local enforcing agency.
(d) Upon completion of a required inspection,
the local enforcing agency shall issue a certificate of inspection. A
certificate of inspection shall not be issued until all violations cited have
been corrected. The certificate of inspection shall be posted by the owner of
the use in a conspicuous location therein.
