The regulatory question is simple: Set against the state: Broward County's failure rate is 61% below the Florida average. Broward County carries 46 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 1 Brunch, 1 Burritos, 1 Cafe, and 1 Chinese. Translation for the public record: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county. That is not atmosphere; it is a compliance record.
Emergency Orders
15 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
TEE JAY THAI SUSHI in Wilton Manors, BELLE CUISINE CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale and ELVIS ITALIAN GRILLE in Davie pulled the heaviest numbers in Broward County. During this 90-day window—a three-month period used to track recent regulatory activity—inspectors ordered 15 emergency-order shutdowns. An emergency order is a state-ordered temporary shutdown that happens on the spot when inspectors find immediate threats to public health. These shutdowns represent the most actionable signals for regulators, moving much faster than administrative complaints, license cancellations, or corporate dissolutions. Across this Red Alert cohort, the breakdown includes 1 Fast Food, 1 Haitian, 1 Pizza, and 1 Restaurant. The volume of these emergency orders remains steady compared to the last public data set.

Near Miss
46 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
This is the part operators cannot wave away: UNTOASTED in Pembroke Park, ESSENZA ITALIAN EATERY AND MARKET in Fort Lauderdale and CUBAN CAFE in Pompano Beach ran away with the Broward County count. 46 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. Translation for the public record: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now.

Chronic Violation Record
208 records this window
Active enforcement targets and repeat offenders: restaurants carrying emergency-order history, chronic 11-year systemic violation patterns, or cross-flag enforcement tiers.
The inspection record spans eleven years; the pattern is clear: 208 restaurants with chronic violation records surface in Broward County on the 11-year pattern view, led by MATCHBOX SAWGRASS MILLS, LA GOURMANDIZE RESTAURANT. The full repeat-offender record sits below. Translation for the public record: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator.

Closures
57 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.
Trajectory tells the truth statistics hide: NAMI SUSHI & GRILL in Hollywood, EL COLOMBIANO COLOMBIAN CUISINE in Pembroke Pines and DR SUBS SALADS & MORE in Pompano Beach carried the front of this Broward County file. 1 closure confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 1 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Translation for the public record: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures. That is not atmosphere; it is a compliance record.

New Owners
33 records this window
DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
Three years of inspection records tell this story: JACKS HAMBURGER HOUSE in Oakland Park, 5TH ELEMENT INDIAN GRILL in Pompano Beach and ISLAND SIGNATURE RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale led the board in Broward County. 33 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. Translation for the public record: an ownership-change filing means a new operator took over the license; it does not mean the restaurant closed. The numbers are the story.

Chain Activity
65 records this window
Multi-location chain brands flagged via aggregated signals across all locations.
Read the EOR action codes the way auditors do: 65 chain brands surface in Broward County’s rollup, covering 496 locations between them: 110 FSQ-confirmed closures, 18 lapsed licenses. Leading brands: Subway, Hz Coffee Group Llc, Hsi Mca Fll Fb Llc. Translation for the public record: a chain rollup groups related brand locations so one sloppy operator cannot hide inside a familiar logo.

Openings
159 records this window
New DBPR licenses plus confirmed opening signals: the places that just joined the map and still need their first public-record track record.
Cross-reference Sunbiz dissolution against DBPR active status — the gap matters: Broward County ledger: 159 opening signals. 226 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 298 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records; 50 reopening, transfer, or reissue records tracked outside the new-opening headline. Current names include GARY RACK'S FARMHOUSE KITCHEN in Coral Springs, MICKLEY & FABY in Pompano Beach and PLANTATION DINER in Plantation. Ledger type mix: 298 new-license records and 226 announcement-led records and 31 reopenings. Cuisine/venue mix: 253 Unknown and 19 Cafe. Area concentration: 146 FORT LAUDERDALE and 53 POMPANO BEACH. Velocity check: 341 opening signals in the last 90 days, 95 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-11-03 to 2026-06-18. RiskyEats treats these as opening signals: license issue, announcement, or operational evidence can precede the first routine inspection, so the paragraph does not imply a clean inspection history. Translation for the public record: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting. The numbers are the story.

Clean Plates
164 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Florida statute 61C-1.002 sets the cadence; the inspectors honor it: 164 Broward County licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections — NIRALA DESI FOOD, TAQUERIA EL JOVENAZO, J A W DELI CORP among them. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations — the operators rewarded for consistency, not one lucky inspection. NIRALA DESI FOOD stretched a high-priority-free run to 30 inspections covering roughly 7.5 years. Translation for the public record: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking. That is not atmosphere; it is a compliance record.
