Mix: 2 seafood spots, 1 Brewery, 1 Mexican, and 1 Pizza. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county.

Emergency Orders
117 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
Before the cocktail hour, the auditors did their rounds: LA CEIBENA in Tampa, MINANO RAMEN in Tampa and LITTLE CAESARS in Bushnell drew the loudest scorecard in the Tampa Bay area. 117 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: 2 pizza spots, 1 Greek, and 1 Ramen. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it. The swamp, for once, is not the problem.

Near Miss
108 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Even the alligators in the parking lot have seen better: TJF 112 LLC in St. Petersburg, LUCKY LOBSTER in Dunedin and GULFPORT BREWERY in Gulfport put the sharpest marks on the Tampa Bay area's list. 108 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. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now. The inspectors merely wrote down the punchline.

Closed/Delinquent
436 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.
Down here, the inspector's clipboard reads like fiction: ROLL IT ICE CREAM in Madeira Beach, ALBERT AND ALMETTA TREATS in Brandon and ALTA PINTA CALLEJERA in Tampa carried the front of this the Tampa Bay area file. 4 closures confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 830 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Main evidence reasons: 448 DBPR inactive/cancelled status (45/46) and 370 social or silence signal. Confidence mix: 446 suspected and 378 confirmed. Velocity check: 4 closure-evidence records in the last 90 days, 1 in the last 30. Dated closure signals run from 2009-11-19 to 2026-06-12. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures. The swamp, for once, is not the problem.

⚠️ Caution
Chronic Violation Record
169 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 menu did not mention this part, naturally: 169 restaurants with chronic violation records surface in the Tampa Bay area on the 11-year pattern view, led by CITRUS SPGS GOLF&COUNTRY CLUB, EL TENAMPA. The full repeat-offender record sits below. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator. The inspectors merely wrote down the punchline.

✨ Trusted
Most Improved
35 records this window
Restaurants whose recent-window violation count is at least 50% lower than the prior window, with the most recent inspection clean.
Somewhere between the mop sink and the mangroves, the facts arrived: GALLO LOCO EXPRESS in Tampa, LA GUANTANAMERA RESTAURANT in Seffner and STRANDHILL PUBLIC in Tampa carried the front of this the Tampa Bay area file. 35 restaurants met the sustained-improvement test: at least four inspections in each 12-month window, recent HP+Critical counts cut by 50% or more, and an active license. GALLO LOCO EXPRESS in Tampa dropped HP+Critical counts from 12 to 2 across the two 12-month windows (83.3% better). For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: most improved means the recent record got materially cleaner than the prior-year pattern.

Clean Plates
595 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Tropical storm or no, the citations keep landing: 595 the Tampa Bay area licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections — BOBBY'S BISTRO & WINE BAR, I WANNA WOK, SON OF A BRISKET BBQ among them. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations — the operators rewarded for consistency, not one lucky inspection. BOBBY'S BISTRO & WINE BAR stretched a high-priority-free run to 17 inspections covering roughly 4.2 years. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking.

🆕 New
New Owners
51 records this window
DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
Only in Florida does this read like routine paperwork: The ownership-change feed drew the loudest scorecard in the Tampa Bay area. 51 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. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: an ownership-change filing means a new operator took over the license; it does not mean the restaurant closed. The swamp, for once, is not the problem.

Openings
40 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.
If you squint past the palm trees, the report is plain: Total for the Tampa Bay area: 40 opening signals. 90 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 982 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records. Current names include FOOD4DAYS PLATFORM LLC in Lutz, SUPERNATURAL DONUT SHOP in Tampa and LOS CHAPOS TACOS in Lutz. Ledger type mix: 982 new-license records and 90 announcement-led records. Cuisine/venue mix: 357 Unknown and 54 Pizza. Area concentration: 269 TAMPA and 73 CLEARWATER. Velocity check: 98 opening signals in the last 90 days, 48 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2024-07-01 to 2026-07-09. 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. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting. The inspectors merely wrote down the punchline.
