The Department of Business and Professional Regulation shut down four Central Florida dining venues for health code violations during the week from Jan. 18-24.

Orange

Checkers at 10500 W. Colonial Dr. in Ocoee shut down on Jan. 21. Inspectors found five violations, one of which was a high priority after inspectors found 12 live roaches on site. A followup inspection on Jan. 22 continued to find live roaches, but a second inspection that day cleared the restaurant to reopen.

Brevard

Beachside Hotel And Suites at 3901 N. Atlantic Ave. in Cocoa Beach shut own on Jan. 21 when inspectors found seven violations including one that was high priority. That was for evidence of rodent activity after inspectors found nearly 30 droppings around the premises. Inspectors returned on Jan. 22 finding no violations and the restaurant was allowed to reopen.

Peacock Indian Kitchen Inc. at 600 Brevard Ave. in Cocoa shut down on Jan. 20 after inspectors found nine violations including two deemed high priority. Those were for rodent activity with more than 50 droppings in various locations and for a missing vacuum breaker on the mop sink faucet. A second inspection was held Jan. 21 resulting in five violations including the missing vaccum breaker, but the restaurant received a time extension to remedy that, and inspectors allowed the venue to reopen.

Volusia

Boston Gourmet Coffeehouse at 109 E. New York Ave. in DeLand shut down on Jan. 21 when inspectors found six violations including two marked high priority. Those were for rodent activity with 10 droppings found on site for time and temperature control issues when butter was held at higher than 41 degrees Fahrenheit in a reach-in cooler. Inspectors returned on Jan. 22 finding two violations, but none that was high priority and the venue was allowed to reopen.
