Chicago Food Violation Code 59: Previous Priority Foundation Violations Not Corrected

Severity: critical | Category: Compliance

What This Means

Priority Foundation violations cited in a previous inspection were not corrected within the required timeframe. When not corrected, CDPH upgrades these to Priority violations and may issue a citation under 7-42-090.

Health Risk

Uncorrected Priority Foundation violations become Priority violations — the most serious CDPH classification. Continued non-compliance indicates systemic food safety failures.

Common Examples

• Backflow prevention devices still missing after prior inspection
• Ventilation hood still not installed
• Required corrections from prior visit ignored
