Approximately 15 of those closures were due to live vermin on the premises, which reportedly likely to be rats or cockroaches. Other businesses had sewage drainage, and another was closed due to lack of cleanliness, or a way to clean the area. That may be lacking a sink or running water.

Granted, not all are in our coverage area. According to the LACDPH inspection reports, the following restaurants have been closed. Please note, the following restaurant closures are only for the month of February. The complete list may be found on the LACDPH website.
It includes the month of January’s restaurant closures, with much of the same.
