Florida's Division of Hotels and Restaurants reports disciplinary actions relating to inspections of restaurants and other public food-service establishments. Listings shown here represent businesses within the Tampa Bay region, which were included in the state's disciplinary activity report for November 2007. Each of the listed cases involves either a signed settlement between the state and the restaurant licensee, or a final order issued after a formal administrative hearing. Listed names, addresses, violation counts and fines were obtained from public records. Map points may be approximate. Businesses presently located at listed addressses may have different names and different owners operating under different licenses than those represented by the records used to compile this map.

Section 509.261, Florida Statutes, authorizes fines, suspensions or revocations of licenses for establishments that do not comply with state health and safety laws.

The businesses identified here represent a small fraction of Florida's 38,000 licensed public food-service establishments. The Division of Hotels and Restaurants reminds readers that most restaurant owners and managers are conscientious. The Division takes disciplinary action when an establishment either allows "conditions to exist that pose an immediate threat to the public's health and safety or repeatedly did not correct non-critical violations noted during routine and call-back inspections, despite being given oral and written warnings and ample time to do so."
