Or. Admin. Code § 603-029-1535 - Condemnation or Quarantine of Building, Equipment, Vehicle, or Facility

(1) The Department may condemn or quarantine any building, equipment, vehicle, or facility that is part of, or used by, a state-inspected establishment, if the Department determines, by inspection or test, that the building, equipment, vehicle, or facility is in violation of ORS 619.026 to 619.066 or any rule adopted thereunder. The Department shall:

(a) Notify the owner or person in charge that such building, equipment, vehicle, or facility shall not be used for its intended purpose until the violation is corrected; and

(b) Post a notice upon such building, equipment, vehicle, or facility to the effect that it is condemned or quarantined for further use on account of the violation.

(2) The Department shall condemn any part of a state-inspected establishment where meat products destined for sale or distribution are prepared, packed, stored, sold, or distributed for consumption outside such premises, and any vehicle used in the transportation of such products, if the Department determines that it is kept in an unclean, unhealthy, or insanitary condition. The Department shall:

(a) Notify the owner or person in charge that such state-inspected establishment or vehicle shall not be used for its intended purpose until it is put in a sanitary condition by making the changes ordered in the notice; and

(b) Post a notice upon such state-inspected establishment or vehicle to the effect that it is condemned for further use on account of the unclean, unhealthful or insanitary condition.

(3) A Notice of Condemnation or Notice of Quarantine shall not be removed without prior approval of the Department. Continued use of the condemned or quarantined building, equipment, vehicle, or facility without making the changes ordered, or unauthorized removal of the notice, is a violation of law.
