Determining a premise's cost/risk rating
Premises' cost/risk rating is determined by a combination of factors.
The table below shows how premises' cost/risk rating are determined. For example, a bottle store (scores 15) closing at 11:00 pm (scores 3) with two enforcements in the last 18 months (scores 20) would have an overall cost/risk rating of 38.
