Below is a list of places that were inspected last week by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Some places were issued a “follow-up inspection required” and were not ordered shut even though they had insect issues.
The department has discretion on which establishments are ordered shut and which are not, and it should NOT be that way.
All the places that were ordered shut were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and re-inspection
