BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Dirty Dining is back with the latest look at Florida DBPR sanitation and safety records for Palm Beach and Broward County, covering the week ending Feb. 8, 2026.
This week’s local activity included three emergency closures in Broward and a heavy inspection cycle across both counties, with a handful of places in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and West Palm Beach turning up repeat high-priority issues in the database.
Emergency Closures: Palm Beach And Broward
State emergency-closure records show three emergency closures tied to Broward County addresses for the week. No Palm Beach County emergency closures appeared in the weekly emergency-closure file.
An emergency closure is not a disciplinary action. It is a temporary step used when inspectors document conditions that pose an elevated risk to the public or employees. The business stays closed until the cited conditions are corrected.
Here are the Broward closures listed in the weekly file:
Wally House of Flavors Restaurant LLC (Lauderhill)
State records show the business was ordered closed Feb. 3 with the condition listed as “No potable water.” The record indicates the location was later approved to re-open the same day.
Subaba Subs (Dania Beach)
State records show an emergency closure on Feb. 3 with “Roach activity” listed as the closure condition. The record indicates the business was later approved to re-open the same day.
Arepasmania (Sunrise)
State records show an emergency closure on Feb. 4 with “Roach activity” listed as the closure condition. The record indicates the business was later approved to re-open the same day.
Other Florida Emergency Closures
The statewide emergency-closure file for the week lists 20 emergency closures total across Florida.
Outside Palm Beach and Broward, the closure reasons in the weekly list included issues like roach activity, sewage backup, and lack of potable water, along with at least one case listed as unlicensed activity, according to the state file.
Inspections This Week: High-Priority Violations
State inspection data shows 702 inspections across Palm Beach and Broward that fall into this week’s reporting cycle.
Most inspections do not involve major problems. But a smaller set in the week’s data stood out for higher counts of high-priority violations or for violations tied to “gross factor” indicators in the state system, including temperature control problems, pest activity, sewage issues, or water/hot water concerns.
Below are selected inspections from the week ending Feb. 8, prioritized toward Boca Raton first, then nearby Palm Beach County cities, followed by Broward.
