OOOOH YEAAH! Florida comparison: Broward County's failure rate is 72% below the Florida average. Broward County lands at 42 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 2 diners, 1 Cafe, 1 Cheese, and 1 Office. BROTHER.
Emergency Orders
26 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! LUV'N OVEN ALE HOUSE in Sunrise, STEAK N SHAKE in Sunrise and RUMROASTERS in Davie put the sharpest marks on Broward County's list. 26 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 Chinese, 1 Fast Food, 1 Pizza, and 1 Tacos. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

Near Miss
42 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP — OH YEAH! LALOUS CUISINE AND CATERING in Hollywood, THE CHEESE COURSE in Weston and VIENNA CAFE AND BISTRO in Cooper City drew the loudest scorecard in Broward County. 42 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. THE MADNESS.

Closures
55 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.
SNAP INTO IT! Pinolandia2go in Pembroke Pines, Tropical Vibes Caribbean Restaurant LLC in Miramar and MAGIC COW in Davie carried the front of this Broward County file. 55 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: 3 burgers, 3 lounges, 2 donuts, and 2 ice-cream shops. 42 standalone restaurants and 13 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. OOOOH YEAH.

JACKS HAMBURGER HOUSE in Oakland Park, 5TH ELEMENT INDIAN GRILL in Pompano Beach and ISLAND SIGNATURE RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale drew the loudest scorecard in Broward County. 30 ownership-change filings posted in the 30-day window. Trend line: ownership-change volume is even with the last public cut. These are operator turnovers — a new owner-of-record on an existing license — not closures, cancellations, or revocations.
