Statewide read: Broward County's failure rate is 42% below the Florida average. Broward County posts 64 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 1 Bar, 1 Cafe, 1 Chinese, and 1 Haitian. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county.
Emergency Orders
38 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
P F CHANG'S CHINA BISTRO in Fort Lauderdale, LONA in Fort Lauderdale and TEE JAY THAI SUSHI in Wilton Manors anchored the high end of the Broward County file. 38 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 Haitian, 1 Restaurant, and 1 Seafood. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it.

Near Miss
64 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
AL'S TABLE CORP in Margate, NEW CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT in Lauderdale Lakes and PEPPA SEED in Pembroke Pines headlined the Broward County rundown. 64 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now.

Chronic Violation Record
222 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.
222 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator.

Closed/Delinquent
236 records this window
Two tiers: confirmed closures (owner-validated posts, news, and external places data that say service has stopped) and DBPR delinquent/inactive licenses (Primary Status Code 45/46) — a regulatory state, not by itself a confirmed closure.
TRUTH BAR AND LOUNGE in Fort Lauderdale, FOXY BROWN in Fort Lauderdale and NAMI SUSHI & GRILL in Hollywood sat at the head of the Broward County list. 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures.

New Owners
40 records this window
DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
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. 40 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an ownership-change filing means a new operator took over the license; it does not mean the restaurant closed.

Multi-location chain brands flagged via aggregated signals across all locations.
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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a chain rollup groups related brand locations so one sloppy operator cannot hide inside a familiar logo.

Openings
104 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.
Total for Broward County: 104 opening signals. 229 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 299 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, SCOOBY'S PUPUSAS in Fort Lauderdale and YC EVENTS LLC in Coral Springs. Ledger type mix: 299 new-license records and 229 announcement-led records and 30 reopenings. Cuisine/venue mix: 256 Unknown and 19 Cafe. Area concentration: 148 FORT LAUDERDALE and 53 POMPANO BEACH. Velocity check: 337 opening signals in the last 90 days, 78 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-05-19 to 2026-06-25. 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting.

Clean Plates
86 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
86 Broward County licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections — VISION CAFE, GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS, CHEF TALLY WORLD FAMOUS JERK CHICKEN among them. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations — the operators rewarded for consistency, not one lucky inspection. VISION CAFE stretched a high-priority-free run to 11 inspections covering roughly 2.8 years. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking.
