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! Total for Treasure Coast: 200 chronic listings. Top chronic name: MULLIGANS BEACH HOUSE BAR AND GRILL in Vero Beach. Top three: MULLIGANS BEACH HOUSE BAR AND GRILL in Vero Beach (complaint inspection), TAQUERIA EL REY in Port St. Lucie (routine inspection) and SENOR JOSE'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT & CANTINA in Port St. Lucie (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
18 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! STUART BOATHOUSE in Stuart, JAN'S PLACE RESTAURANT in Jensen Beach and PICKLED RESTAURANT & BAR in Fort Pierce carried the front of this Treasure Coast file. 18 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 Diner, and 1 Gastropub. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

Closures — what just stopped operating
49 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! JUGOS Y FRUTAS EL GUERO in Fort Pierce, MAISON MARTINIQUE RESTAURANT in Vero Beach and (THE) MOFONGO KING in Port St. Lucie put the sharpest marks on Treasure Coast's list. 49 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: 7 pizza spots, 4 burgers, 4 donuts, and 2 bars. 35 standalone restaurants and 14 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.
