Overview
When an inspection results in a failed outcome, ImaraCare automatically schedules a reinspection and links it to the original inspection. Each reinspection has its own due date, fee, and outcome record.
How reinspections are scheduled
When you save an inspection with a Failed result, the system:
- Creates a new inspection record linked to the original as its parent.
- Sets the reinspection due date to 30 days after the failed inspection date.
- Assigns the applicable reinspection fee (based on your jurisdiction profile).
- Sets the status to Scheduled.
You will see the reinspection as an indented row under the original inspection in the Inspections list.
Recording access for a reinspection
Before or during a reinspection, log whether the inspector was granted access:
- Open the reinspection record.
- Under Access, select Access Granted or Log Access Refusal.
- If refused, enter the reason for refusal.
Refusing an inspector access without a valid legal basis can result in automatic escalation to the licensing authority. ImaraCare records refusals with a timestamp and triggers a notification to facility management.
Fee tracking
Reinspection fees accrue with each additional reinspection on the same root violation. The fee stack is visible on each reinspection row:
- Reinspection 1: base fee (e.g., $150)
- Reinspection 2: cumulative fee (e.g., $300)
- Reinspection 3+: cumulative fee continues to increase
Contact your licensing authority for the exact fee schedule in your jurisdiction.
Clearing a reinspection
Once the reinspection is completed with a Passed result, update the status to Passed and enter any notes. The parent inspection chain is then marked as resolved.
