in lieu thereof, the establishment shall be downgraded to the next

lower grade.

post the appropriate notice in accordance with § 21107 of Chapter

21. The permit holder or operator of any establishment, the grade

of which has been lowered, may, at any time, request an inspection

days following receipt of a request including a signed statement

that the conditions responsible for the lowering of the grade have,

in the applicant's opinion, been corrected, the Director shall make

an inspection; and thereafter, as many additional inspections as he

may deem necessary to assure himself that the applicant is

complying with the higher grade requirements; and, if the findings

indicate compliance shall award the higher grade.
