How to file the food establishment plan review (Boston)

Needed to build a new place, renovate, change the layout, or add equipment or processes the menu calls for. Book the in-person review with ISD Health (617-635-5326, ISDHealth@boston.gov) and bring the worksheet, two scaled floor plans, NSF or UL equipment specs and the menu; then take the stamped plans to ISD's Building Division for the building permits.
