It reminds me of a notorious bar here in Chicago that has continued to allow indoor smoking ever since the city's 2008 ban went into effect. The popular understanding is that they just keep paying the fines as a cost of doing business.
- TillE 5y agoThat's a pretty odd situation, since in most cases a repeated health violations like that would lead to your license(s) getting pulled.
- vmception 5y agoThere are a variety in Los Angeles that stayed open during the entire pandemic and just kept paying the fines. Some were pretty clear about having debts and expenses, they got the fines and weren't like condemned or anything stricter. (So its always been possible to have a midwestern or Florida experience even in LA county, which has been widely reported as having strict requirements, but its not really anybody's day to day experience)
