(A) This rule shall be known as the
"Sanitation requirements."
(B)(A)
It
This rule
shall apply to the permit premises of all holders of permits that authorize
retail sales, and to any other permit premises under a permit allowing sales
for consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises, except as provided for
in paragraph (F)
(E) of this rule.
(C)(B) All such premises
shall be provided with an adequate supply of hot and cold running water from a
source satisfactory to the board or department of health of the health district
in which such premises are located.
(D)(C) All rooms,
basements, or other places used to sell, serve, store, or consume alcoholic
beverages shall be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner at all
times.
(E)(D) All fixtures and
equipment, including bars, tables, counters, coolers, kitchen utensils and
equipment, refrigerators, and extra beer tap rods shall be maintained in a
clean and sanitary manner at all times.
(F)(E) This paragraph
applies only to permit premises to which permits are issued that allow for the
sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption. This paragraph does
not apply to A-3A or D-8 permit holders. Such permit premises shall have:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this
section, separate toilet facilities for men and women. Toilet facilities shall
contain at least one toilet, complete with seat. If two or more toilets are
installed, partitions and doors shall be provided to ensure complete privacy.
The requirement for separate toilet facilities for men and women is not
applicable to an A-1, A-1c,
or A-2, or
A-2f permit holder to whom the division has not also issued an A-1A
liquor permit. Such A-1, A-1c,
and A-2, or
A-2f permit holders are required to have toilet facilities that meet the
remaining requirements of this rule.
(2) Water-flushed toilets, if the permit
premises are located in a place where a public water supply and a public sewage
system are available.
(3) Toilet
facilities of a type and kind approved by the board or department of health of
the health district in which the permit premises are located, if the permit
premises are located in a place where a public water supply and a public sewage
system are not available. Such toilet facilities shall be installed in
accordance with specifications of such board or department of health.
(G)(F) All toilet
facilities shall be reasonably soundproof, shall be located and constructed so
as to assure complete privacy, and shall be easily accessible. No entrance to
toilet facilities for patron or customer use shall open into a kitchen. All
toilet facilities shall be in compliance with the standards of the board or
department of health of the health district in which such premises are
located.
(H)(G) Hand-washing
facilities, including wash bowl or lavatory with running water, shall be
provided either in each of the separate toilet facilities for men and women or
shall be located convenient to the toilet facilities. In either case in
connection with each such wash bowl or lavatory, there shall at all times be
available soap and individual-type sanitary towels or hand dryers.
(I)(H)
All toilet facilities shall be kept at all times in a clean and sanitary
condition, free from filth and accumulated waste, and in good repair.
(J)(I)
All alcoholic beverages held or offered for sale shall be maintained in a
potable condition. Conviction in any court of competent jurisdiction of any
permit holder, or agent or employee of a permit holder, under section
4399.15 of the Revised Code
shall constitute a violation of this rule.
(K)(J) Any
retail permit holder located in an enclosed
shopping center, as defined in division (B)(17) of section
4301.01 of the Revised Code but
excluding a retail permit holder in a
free-standing building on the enclosed shopping center tract of land, or in a
multi-tenanted building, wherein separate restrooms for men and for women are
provided by the owner of such building for the use of the public frequenting
the building, or for the use of the customers of all of the tenants in such
building, is not required to have separate restrooms on the permit premises,
provided that the common restrooms meet the requirements of the local board of
health; but no permit holder shall use for its customers the restrooms of
another permit holder if such restrooms are located on the permit premises of
another permit holder.
