Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section VI of the Heath Temporary Occupancy Regulations, operators of temporary occupancies should be aware that the Board of Health holds wide-ranging enforcement authority. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties and practices in full conformity with the regulation so as to avoid triggering any of the legal actions—civil or otherwise—that the Board is empowered to pursue. Keeping documentation of compliance with all applicable requirements is a common practice among well-managed properties.
