Violations most often cited at failing Seminole County restaurants

Across the 11 restaurants at a D or F, DBPR recorded 28 high-priority violations at 10 of them. The codes below are ranked by how many of those failing restaurants were cited under each.

DBPR does not publish a priority tier per violation code in this dataset, so these are ranked by frequency at failing restaurants rather than labelled high-priority. Official wording first, then what it means in practice.

  1. 1 Code 22 11 of 11 failing restaurants · 51 citations

    Food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized

    Surfaces that touch food were not clean and sanitised — one of the most direct routes to contamination.

  2. 2 Code 36 10 of 11 failing restaurants · 39 citations

    Floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained; proper ventilation

    Floors, walls or ceilings were dirty or in disrepair, or ventilation was inadequate — a housekeeping failure rather than a direct food risk.

  3. 3 Code 14 8 of 11 failing restaurants · 28 citations

    Food-contact & nonfood-contact surfaces properly designed/maintained

    Equipment or work surfaces were damaged, worn or built in a way that cannot be properly cleaned.

  4. 4 Code 16 8 of 11 failing restaurants · 28 citations

    Dishwashing facilities; sanitizer test kits; gauges

    The dishwashing setup fell short — sanitiser strength untested, missing test kits, or faulty gauges.

  5. 5 Code 23 9 of 11 failing restaurants · 22 citations

    Nonfood-contact surfaces clean

    Surfaces that do not touch food directly — shelving, cabinet exteriors, equipment housings — were dirty.

  6. 6 Code 29 10 of 11 failing restaurants · 19 citations

    Plumbing installed & maintained; mop sink; backflow prevention

    Plumbing faults: leaks, missing backflow prevention, or a mop sink problem.

  7. 7 Code 08 8 of 11 failing restaurants · 18 citations

    Cross-contamination: raw foods separated; food protected during prep/storage

    Raw and ready-to-eat foods were not kept apart, or food was left unprotected during prep or storage — the classic cross-contamination failure.

  8. 8 Code 03 9 of 11 failing restaurants · 16 citations

    Temperature control of foods (cold/hot holding, cooking, cooling, reheating)

    Food was held, cooked, cooled or reheated outside safe temperatures. This is the violation most often linked to foodborne illness.
