The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) through the Division of Hotels and Restaurants inspects restaurants throughout the state and determines if a restaurant warrants an emergency closure.

Per the agency's definition, an emergency closure is not a disciplinary action, but rather an action taken to mitigate conditions that pose an elevated risk to the health, safety or welfare of the public or the establishment's employees. The licensee is closed until the conditions are corrected. Examples of conditions warranting immediate closure include: lack of approved utilities or hot water, sewage backups or overflows, fire damage, pest infestation or inadequate refrigeration.

Each inspection report is a "snapshot" of conditions present at the time of the inspection. Click a link below to see which restaurants throughout the state warranted emergency closure. Reports are provided in Microsoft Excel format.
