Local 10 News is looking into a discrepancy on the state’s website involving Areito Bar and Restaurant in Hollywood.
One section shows an emergency closure, while another only lists a follow-up inspection. Either way, roach activity was documented in the kitchen.
In Sunrise, Dragon Delight was ordered shut due to a fly issue, with rodent droppings and other sanitary violations also noted.
Meanwhile, no kitchens in Miami-Dade have been ordered shut for roach or rodent issues in weeks — an unusual stretch given the volume of restaurants and the typical number of closures in the county.
All the places mentioned were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and then a re-inspection.
