Worst Offenders — enforcement tiers + chronic violations
200 records this window
Active enforcement targets: restaurants carrying EOR history, chronic violation patterns, or cross-flag RENAME/PEST/RL4 enforcement tiers.
FUNKY LIKE A MONKEY! Miami-Dade County ledger: 200 chronic listings. Top chronic name: PEKING ONE in Miami. Top three: PEKING ONE in Miami (routine inspection), BAHAMAS FISH MARKET AND RESTAURANT #2 LLC in Miami (routine inspection) and UPTOWN BUFFET in Miami (routine inspection). Trend line: the chronic board is steady against the last public cut. This is a repeat-pattern read, not a claim about kitchens outside the DBPR inspection window.

Red Alert — Emergency Orders
121 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! TACOLOGY in Miami, OCEAN 5 CAFE in Miami Beach and CMX BRICKELL STONE SPORTS BAR in Miami led the board in Miami-Dade County. 121 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 Argentine, 1 Cafe, 1 Sports Bar, and 1 Tacos. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

MAGNA SUSHI in Miami Beach dropped HP+Critical counts from 5 to 1 across the two 12-month windows (80.0% better). OOOOH YEAH.

Closures — what just stopped operating
209 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.
NOBODY LIKES A QUITTER! GUACA-MOLE in Hialeah, THE VILLA in Miami Gardens and EMILIO'S TRATTORIA in Bay Harbor Islands led the board in Miami-Dade County. 209 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: 15 fast-food spots, 11 bakeries, 9 pizza spots, and 8 bars. 148 standalone restaurants and 45 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.

THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP — OH YEAH! BRISAS BISTRO RESTAURANT in Miami, B AND B BISTRO/BAKERY in Bal Harbour and CRIOLLO'S in Miami drew the loudest scorecard in Miami-Dade County. 273 high-priority citations posted in the 30-day window — none of these resulted in an emergency-order closure (those are in Red Alert). They are the near-miss watch list: restaurants that drew inspector attention but stayed open. Any of them could receive a follow-up inspection. The recurring violation labels were HP and BAS.
