Violations most often cited at failing Volusia County restaurants

Across the 32 restaurants at a D or F, DBPR recorded 101 high-priority violations at 32 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 36 25 of 32 failing restaurants · 106 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.

  2. 2 Code 14 27 of 32 failing restaurants · 98 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.

  3. 3 Code 03 30 of 32 failing restaurants · 89 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.

  4. 4 Code 22 26 of 32 failing restaurants · 73 citations

    Food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized

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

  5. 5 Code 08 31 of 32 failing restaurants · 60 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.

  6. 6 Code 23 20 of 32 failing restaurants · 46 citations

    Nonfood-contact surfaces clean

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

  7. 7 Code 01 21 of 32 failing restaurants · 45 citations

    Food from approved source; safe, unadulterated, sound condition

    Food came from an unapproved source, or was spoiled, damaged or otherwise unsound.

  8. 8 Code 35 18 of 32 failing restaurants · 43 citations

    Insects/rodents/pests; outer openings protected against pests

    Evidence of insects or rodents, or gaps in the building that let pests in.
