Worst of the Worst — flagged in 2+ dimensions
41 records this window
Restaurants concentrated across multiple red-flag dimensions: emergency orders + chronic offenders + closures + bad-actor pattern.
41 Treasure Coast restaurants carry red flags across multiple dimensions at once. 1 restaurant in Treasure Coast hit the triple-flag tier — under emergency order, lapsed license, AND classified as a bad actor. Lead: REMYS DINER. 6 more carry the acute combo: emergency order plus a bad-actor record. 3 fall into the “gone quiet” pattern — a documented bad-actor history but DBPR hasn’t inspected them in 180+ days. 9 have lapsed papers paired with bad-actor records.

Red Alert — Emergency Orders
8 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
STUART BOATHOUSE in Stuart, JAN'S PLACE RESTAURANT in Jensen Beach and RAMEN HANA AND SUSHI in Stuart carried the front of this Treasure Coast file. 8 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window — DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. These are the most actionable signals: faster than admin actions, faster than license cancellation, faster than corporate dissolution. Across the Red Alert cohort: 1 Bar, 1 Brunch, 1 Gastropub, and 1 Sushi. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut.

Closures — what just stopped operating
73 records this window
The closed-door file: confirmed shutdowns, owner-validated closure posts, DBPR status signals, and external places data that say service has stopped.
CAM'S PIZZERIA in Port St. Lucie, GRANTS FRESH CATCH FOOD TRUCK in Fort Pierce and LA GUANTANAMERA in Fort Pierce carried the front of this Treasure Coast file. 73 restaurants carry one or more defunct-indicator signals (silent inspector, license inactive, corp dissolved, or third-party verifier confirmation) in the 90-day public window. Across the closure-signal cohort: 10 pizza spots, 5 donuts, 4 burgers, and 2 bars. 55 standalone restaurants and 18 chain locations. Trend line: closure-signals volume is steady against the last public cut. These are signals, not all confirmed permanent closures — Closure Score 4/4 = third-party verified; lower scores = likely / probable / DBPR-flagged-inactive.
