Emergency Orders
25 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! BELLE CUISINE CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale, ELVIS ITALIAN GRILLE in Davie and LUV'N OVEN ALE HOUSE in Sunrise put the sharpest marks on Broward County's list. 25 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 Fast Food, 1 Haitian, 1 Pizza, and 1 Restaurant. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

Near Miss
37 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! LUCKY CITY in Margate, KE UH in Weston and KATANA COCINA NIKKEI in Weston carried the front of this Broward County file. 37 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 INT. THE MADNESS.

Closures
28 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! LAKAY MAMA RESTAURANT LLC in Lauderhill, Cajun Boil Plantation LLC in Plantation and Denny's Of Hollywood 7457 in Hollywood drew the loudest scorecard in Broward County. 28 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 sandwiches, 1 Bakery, 1 Bar, and 1 Beach. 27 standalone restaurants and 1 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.
