56 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.

I'm tellin' ya, this Red Alert group includes 1 Chinese, 1 Diner, 1 Ice Cream, and 1 Lebanese joint. The emergency-order volume is stayin' steady against the last public cut, fuhgeddaboudit.

Near Miss
416 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
SALSAS MEXICAN RESTAURANT in Oviedo, BEST WESTERN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY in Daytona Beach and SHEP'S DINER in Melbourne are the ones making a scene in Orange County. The law slapped these spots with 416 high-priority citations in the 30-day window, but none of 'em got ordered shut by an emergency order. Fuhgeddaboudit. These mooks are on the near-miss watch list because they drew heat from inspectors but stayed open for business. I'm tellin' ya, any one of these joints could get a follow-up visit if they don't tighten up. The violations were mostly HP and INT. Capisce?

Closures
167 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.
PEACOCK INDIAN KITCHEN in Cocoa, CHINA MASTER in Daytona Beach and THE PELICAN BISTRO in Port Orange really stepped in it with the law in Orange County. Madonn', we got 167 restaurants carryin' one or more defunct-indicator signals like silent inspectors, inactive licenses, dissolved corps, or third-party verifiers in the 90-day public window. I'm tellin' ya, look at this crowd: 8 cafes, 8 pizza spots, 7 restaurants and 4 American joints. We got 141 standalone mooks and 7 chain locations. Fuhgeddaboudit, these closure signals are steady compared to the last public cut. Now listen, these are just signals, not all confirmed permanent closures, capisce? A Closure Score of 4/4 means third-party verified, while the lower scores are just likely or DBPR-flagged inactive.

Off the Radar
817 records this window
Merged ghost + distressed licenses: active on paper but no DBPR inspection in 365+ days, or carrying administrative-lapse signals (status 45/46 grace, Sunbiz IFLAL, near-expiry).
The law has a blind spot in Orange County because 817 licenses just surfaced off the radar this cycle. I'm tellin' ya, we got 243 DBPR-active licenses where no inspector has bothered to show up in 365+ days, which is off-cadence under Florida statute 61C-1.002. Then you got 510 mooks with formal DBPR distress signals, including Status 45/46, IFLAL, and annual inspection gaps. Madonn', 242 of these places are hitting both categories at once. Fuhgeddaboudit. What're you gonna do when another 63 licenses get escalated to Closures with stronger confirmation signals? It is what it is.
