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 Palm Beach County: 200 chronic listings. Top chronic name: SAIKO-I SUSHI LOUNGE & HIBACHI in Boca Raton. Top three: SAIKO-I SUSHI LOUNGE & HIBACHI in Boca Raton (complaint inspection), SHANGHAI 818 in Boca Raton (routine inspection) and THE CITY FISH MARKET in Boca Raton (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.

Closures — what just stopped operating
118 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! PARRILLADA CASA AMIGOS in Palm Springs, SOUVLAKI FAST in West Palm Beach and LPP CAFE BOCA in Boca Raton drew the loudest scorecard in Palm Beach County. 118 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: 17 fast-food spots, 14 sandwiches, 10 pizza spots, and 4 bakeries. 91 standalone restaurants and 27 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.
