A file search looks for any outstanding requirements against a variety of businesses inspected by a Public Health Inspector. A File Search Request must be made 14 business days prior to the closing date and include the current Owners consent.
Law offices may request a file search for the following types of businesses:
- food premises (commercial kitchen that serves food to the public)
- seasonal farm worker housing
- public recreational water (swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs)
- public facilities with a well (i.e., campgrounds, trailer parks)
- personal services settings (hair salons, nail salons, tattoo shops, barber shops)
- licensed daycares, group homes, lodging homes, retirement homes, long term care facilities
- premises regulated by the Smoke Free Ontario Act
Below is a map showing the area Southwestern Public Health covers to assist you in determining if we are the correct health unit to reach out to with your request.
