Can Health Department Kick you out of house? Our septic tank has issues and overflows. It overflows due to our field lines being under natural water. Well our local Health Department has been called to our house several times due to it over flowing into our neighbors yard. We have already spent about 3000 dollars just pumping the thing. And we have been told that it would cost us atleast 20k just to have a private sewer put in. We were told today to connect to the sewer in ten days to fix the problem and I have told them that we don't have the money as well. Can the Health Department kick us out of our house if we dont connect to sewer in ten days like they want us to? Ok I guess I need to add some detail... the Health Department knows about the natural water and stuff and has told us all they can do is tell us to keep pumping it every month. Who can afford 250 a month for pumping something. We've gone to lawyers and everything and all they can say is to keep pumping it as well until you find something else. Its like we've done all that we could and now we are just stuck in this rock and hard place. We'll we've been given on ten days and have ten days to come up with 5000 bucks. And that is going to connect us to the sewer so that would fix the problem. The health department guy said that the only way the ten days are going to be exteneded is if we are doing something to correct the problem. the only two things we are working on right now which should extend the issues is the easement for the neighbors and money. So fingers crossed!
Can my apartment manager kick me out for calling the health department? I am SO SICK of these roaches. Pest control has come twice, I have put boric acid everywhere I can think if, I take out my garbage daily and I vacuum twice a week in case of crumbs. I have taped or stuffed every crack I can find, and I keep any open food in the refrigerator, even my cereal. I still have roaches, and I don't know where they care coming from! I want my manager to take some serious action like getting the walls treated but she won't. Can I be kicked out for calling the health department? I can't move for at least 6 months, I am in college and need to finish! my neighbors do NOT care, i have tried to get them to cooperate, i even put up signs asking everyone to work together to be clean and they got ripped down in less than an hour :(
An employee has threatened to call the health department. Can I fire them? One of my employees threatened to call the Health Department because she didn't like her office space. Her office is a converted janitor's closet that the janitor still uses to store a few chemicals (she works with preschool age children). She claims the chemicals are bad for the kids, and she might be right, but we don't have any other space for her. I am really scared that she might be right and an investigation could close down our facility. Can I just fire her in order to keep this quiet? Is that legal?

Verify if there is such a thing as a Health card class issed by Health department in California? QUESTION: Is there such a thing as a health card in California or not? There is some discrepancy and gray area due to different states having different laws, OK: a Health card, being a card issued by the health department after taking a short class on clean and safe food and beverage handling procedures in the food industry for the purpose of obtaining employment (also requires a blood test for Hep.) The health card DOES exist in Las Vegas and it is almost mandatory to work anywhere around food or drink, but does it exist in CA is my question, and is it something that may be to the benefit of a bartender to get. Do you think the health department issues these, or the department of health services? If they even exist in CA.
Does anyone ever give health insurance cards for billing to there local health department? I was wondering if it made any difference to a patients bill if they gave there health insurance to their local health district? Does it make any difference. I'm just wondering because even if you do have insurance why would you provide it if the health department only asks for a minimum payment for anything like, childrens shots, yearly physicals and a womans birth control.
Is this worth reporting to the health department or the manager of Subway? I was eating at a subway resteraunt today and I observed a worker who was making someones sandwich however, right after that she took out the garbage. I do not know if she washed her hands. I did not see her do that. After seeing this, I could not finish my sandwich. Is this worth reporting to the heath department or the main manager of Subway resteraunts?
Should this restaurant be reported to the health department? My husband and I frequent this really good Chinese restaurant called the "Golden Wok" in our little Iowa town. Last night we got our takeout home and my husband noticed that the beef lo mein that he ordered tasted like and looked like pork. He gets this dish every time we go and knows how it should look, and it did not look or taste right. We took it back and the little chinese lady the runs the restaurant argued with us that it was beef and that we were wrong, no matter how much we told her that it wasn't right. Instead, after refusing to remake the dish or refund our money, she dumped the takeout box of food back into the wok and added more seasoning and soy sauce, then dumped it back into the original container. My friend at work says that was against FDA regulations and should be reported to the health department. I am peeved enough that I am half-way tempted. Would what you suggest?
The Health Department is inspecting my apartment complex tomorrow.... details inside? I got a notice on my door saying the Health Department was going to inspect our apartment (and others but I dont know if it is only in our building or the whole complex). We called the front office because in 7 yrs of apartment living we had never heard of such a thing. They told us there was an infestation of roaches. We have not had any trouble with roaches or any pests so I was wondering how bad it has to be for the Health Department to be brought in? Its an average apt complex.... not skanky but nothing high scale. What would the Health department do if there is a bad infestation?
There is mold on our bathroom ceiling, is it necessary to call the Health Department? I am an at will tenant. My roommates and I have repeatedly told our landlord that there is mold and periodically he will come to clean it up with some bleach. The ventilation fan is pretty much shot and makes a horrible screeching noise when we turn it on. It clearly doesn't work. He has acknowledged that we need a new bathroom, but hasn't done anything to expedite that process. After numerous complaints (and nothing being fixed), is it time to call the Health Dept.? I really want to avoid confrontation.

Can I use the health departments services or are their eligibility requirements and exclusions?

Is calling the health department on a business that is questionable a mean thing to do? on Saturday I called the health dept. on a small convenience store near the entrance of my neighborhood. Today I drove by and they were closed with a sign that read "closed for repairs" Is this bad? the reason I called was every time I buy something in there it is out of date, spoiled, or just plain dirty. I have personally witnessed crickets in the ice cream cooler and salad dressing on the shelf that was 2 years 9 months out of date. if you ask me it was long over due!
How do I contact the Department of Health? I recently went to a bar the other night and the floor was very muddy, the counter had so many cobwebs and dust everywhere, there were people smoking in plain view when it's illegal to smoke in a public place in NY state. It was screaming health code violation. I was wondering how do I find an address to write a complaint to? I live in erie county in New York. I was so confused about which address I would write to. Please help!

At what point should/would the Health Department step in? I have a very elderly neighbor who's a shut-in. While I do feel quite sorry for her, she is stinking up the entire apartment building with her cat's litter box, and mounds of garbage that don't get taken out but once a month, if that. I have complained to the landlord, who won't do anything. I have bought Air Wick warmers from my own pocket and placed them throughout the building, which helps some, but every time she opens her door for the mailman, a foul, lingering odor of feces and urine and who knows WHAT else escapes her apartment. It's gotten to the point where I want to call the Health Department on her, because it isn't sanitary! I have lived here for two years and have tried to have compassion for her; I understand she's very old and crippled and can't do much for herself. But the other neighbors and I have gotten tired of the stench! Can the Health Department do anything, since it is only one cat, and since the garbage doesn't spill out into the hallway? Might there be something that her Medicare or something would cover to help her with her housekeeping so she isn't making the rest of the people in this building miserable?
health department? who do i contact when i filed a compliant about landlord turning off water andnot fixing plumping i already contact the mayors call resolution center also contacted the health department no action was talking for this problem
How do I report someone tothe health department? Ok so I know a wholesale food distribituter that is doing bad things. They are rubbing expiration dates off of products, selling expired canned items, telling people that the expiration date is actually the date the product was made and that it is still good. They even tell their customers sometimes that the product was labeled with the wrong expiration date. They will even sell dented cans to people at a really low price. So, how would I report this without them knowing I was the one that reported it? oK smarty pants, I know I call them. but where exactly would I find the phone #? Is it OSHA or USDA or would it be the local city offices and then ask for the health inspector?
Can I send a mold kit to a local health department? I am highly allergic to mold and had some in my bathroom. So, I bought a mold kit from hardware store to see how fast it grows. It is bad and black mold, too. The instructions, say to send to a lab with $30 fee. Wouldn't a local health dept. do the testing? What can be done about removing mold? They won't make a person evacuate? It is in between the wall tiles, especially, above the tub. That petri dish, is just filled with mold now...gross.
Health department? my eye has been red for a long time and i think i should see a doctor but i dont have one could i go to the health department about it?
How long till we pass a law the requires a health department permit to serve food to the homeless .? People need to stop feeding the homeless like they do with the bears and alligators . Stop feeding them and they move on and go away . Set up a place for them to eat and they mill around all day within a few miles of the free food . They start lining up 30 minutes before the food is even ready to be served . I say keep moving the food further and further out into the country and draw them away from the city . In a few weeks you could clean up the city of these smelly people always begging for spare change .

TB and the Health Department? My brother was exposed to an active case of TB a while back. He was notified by the Health Department. He went to HD and they gave him test and gave him antibiotics to take for several months.He didn't take them all and drank alcohol the whole time he did take any. He says the HD said it was just a precaution. I think he is lying and living in denial as well as an idiot. Now I found a stack of letters from the HD saying he MUST come in for a chest xray at their TB Dept. He refuses to go even though it is free. They have been sending them every single month for the last 6 months or longer. He just ignores the letters or throws them away. What is the deal? The HD won't tell us anything as they say it would violate his privacy. What about those of us exposed to him. He lived with our Mother.He left for now and moved in with some girl crazy enough to take him for awhile. He's a habitual liar, an alcoholic and can't be trusted to be honest. What should we do? The HD won't tell us anything. I know he has a horrible sounding wet cough, he is an alcoholic, he has reported having fever, chills, night sweats, flu like symptoms that come and go for several months now and refuses to go to the doctor, he has complained with chest pains, he’s lost weight. He had relationship with someone with an active case of TB and was in jail when there were active cases. He and my mother lived in a small 2 home with very poor ventilation for an extended period of time. My mother suffers from some of the same symptoms but refuses to be tested. I am forced to see her everyday (too long to explain). I have been keeping at least 3-4 ft distance from her and have made excuses not to go inside her home. I was tested and was negative. I worry about those who know nothing about his problem and his child that often sleeps in the same bed with him. Am I over-reacting or would the HD allow someone suspected to be an active case to roam around without any action?
Should I call the health department or something? I work at PetsMart, and at night and in the mornings they have us chang the towels in the bird cages and give medication to sick rodents. There are no gloves, goggles or masks so far as I've seen. I'm mostly worried about the bird and rodent feces on my bare hands than the actual sick mice and rats. Should I call OSHA or the Health Department and annonymously report them? Personally, I scrub my hands 3 times with antibacterial soap, but who knows what the 18-19 year old employees do. And the break room has visible dirt everywhere. I'm very concerned for my health while working there.
Should I Call the Health Department? Last Saturday night I went out to dinner at a mediterranean restaurant. The service was great and the food was decent. About 7 hours later, I started throwing up and I didn't stop throwing up for 12 hours. It was one of the worst nights of my life. I really feel like I got food poisoning and I would almost call the health department to have them check it out. The only problem is that I work at a health clinic and I might have gotten a virus from a patient. What would you do? I don't want other people to get that sick. It was horrible. These are all good answers. The reason I didn't see a doctor at the time was that I was sick from about 10pm on Saturday to 10am on Sunday. I knew it was going to pass, so I didn't want to go to the ER. Now I'm almost 100% better. I probably just got a stomach virus, so I think I will not call the HD. Thanks for the answers! :)

I Just Came From The Health Department? Okay i just came from the health department and they made me take a pregnancy test but before i took the pregnancy test the lady that was talkin to me told me she that she thought i was pregnant so i took the pregnancy test and she said it came out negative but she told me she still think i am pregnant because she think the 4 months is too long to not come on your period and she told me that i she get a blood test to see what is going on and i am going to get a blood test tomorrow but i still think i am pregnant is there a possiblity that i am still pregnant because the lady told me that the test are not 100%...so what do you guys think.
About the local health department? I currently have no insurance. It looks like it is going to be that way for a few more months. I work but I'm still on a probatioary type period before I can get medical insurance. My mom had mentioned I could go to the health department and somehow make payments for a medication that I have been supossed to take. I've been off of it for a while and I need to start taking it again. Has anyone ever heard of this? by the way, I'm not talking about medicaid What about a private health insurance? Does anyone know how much those cost per month for an individual? My daughters both have insurance through their father. It's not birth control...I have the mirena
Do you have to give the health department your private insurance? I'm a student (23) and still on my parent's insurance and I am having some gynecological problems that I need checked out but I do not want them to know. They will surely find out if I use their insurance. Is the health department safe and trustworthy? Do I have to provide them with my insurance information? The payment is on a sliding scale and you have to provide proof of income...will they just use my part-time job to determine what I pay? Point being is it possible to keep this from my parents at this stage if I go to the health department?
unsanitary tenants. should i call the department of health? I have a duplex in Los Angeles California which is a rent control city and one of my tenants there are so unsanitary. there unit is full of junk, smell so so so bad and its really dirty it looks as if they have never cleaned the place since they moved in 5 years ago. they also have 2 dogs that live with them. i want to call the department of health on them but i am concerned that it might come back at me since i am the owner and this city being a rent control city i cant just simply ask them to leave. has anyone had this problem or heard of something like this and if so did the health department fine the tenant or the owner.
Tuberculosis Patient and the State Health Department? I need answers!? Under what circumstances would a state health department come to someones home and burn their belongings? A landlord called them after she found papers from the health dept. to the tenant (that had skipped out on his rent) regarding their TB status and she said the H.D. came out to burn his left belongings. Does this mean this person is in an active stage of TB and a threat to the general public? If not, then can a H.D. legally do something like this without the tenant's consent? I knew the tenant. Should I be concerned about exposure if I had visited with them inside their home? What about his ex-wife and their young children who knew nothing about this? Apparantly he was supposed to be taking meds for it but was sparotic in his taking of his meds and is a raging alcoholic who drinks heavily everyday. Does that effect the effectiveness of the meds?
Should we call the local Health Department about this?? Today,my family and I ordered some lunch from McDonalds and we got it to go through the drive thru. Our order was very simple and easy we ordered 7 double cheeseburgers plain,and two orders of french fries. Long story short is that when we got home ALL of our burgers had pickles,ketchup,and mustard on them. Well,we ate our lunch and for dinner tonight,my husband went to go heat up one of the burgers and there was a huge bite taken out of the burger and it was the ONLY burger that was plain and didn't have anything on it. We have saved it for evidence so I can call the district manager at our local McDonalds on Monday morning. Here is my question,would you also call the health department to let them know that the employees are tampering with customers food too? I know for a fact that none of us took a bite out of the burger because we were gone for the rest of the day and we were all together. What would you do if you found out that somebody had tampered with your food?

How do you complain to the Health Department? I just found a hair in my Pink Berry. I've had other gross problems with food from elsewhere too and I'm getting really tired of people being irresponsible handling the food I eat. As it is, I only eat at resturaunts with A ratings, but it still sometimes seems like those ratings mean nothing, like when I find hair in my food, which has now happened to me twice in the last six months at places that had A ratings. And let's talk about the multiple times I've brought home moldy food that was supposedly fresh from major supermarkets. So, I'm gonna start complaining. I went to the California Department of Health web site but couldn't find any complaint forms. Does anybody know how to go about this?
I have a letter from my occupational health department...? Hi I was wondering if anyone had been summoned to their occupational health department for a meeting? I have recently started a new job within my company. I have been working for them in another role for four months now. I have not been off sick in this job. I'm quite worried about it as I love the job I'm in. I was off with depression in my last job so maybe it's something to do with that, I don't know. What do you think it'll be like? Do they want to catch me out?
