BOCA RATON, FL — State inspectors temporarily closed three restaurants in Palm Beach and Broward counties during the week ending June 7, with records citing roach activity, fly activity, or both.
The local closures were in Lake Worth, Jupiter, and Davie, according to Florida DBPR records. Inspectors also documented dozens of restaurant inspections across Palm Beach and Broward during the same reporting cycle, including several with multiple high-priority violations.
Emergency closures are not disciplinary actions. They are temporary orders used when inspectors report conditions that must be corrected before a business is allowed to reopen.
