Achsah's Jamaican Restaurant/bakery in Fort Lauderdale
Last inspected:
3069 Nw 19 St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311Achsah's Jamaican Restaurant/Bakery in Fort Lauderdale has operated under sustained scrutiny due to persistent food safety violations and a critical pest emergency. The facility was emergency-closed on March 24, 2026 for rodent, roach, and fly activity — conditions documented by a DBPR inspector as imminent health hazards. A callback inspection three days later on March 27, 2026 required an extension of the emergency order, indicating the facility remained unable to demonstrate full compliance with closure conditions.
Across 28 inspections since 2016, the facility accumulated 127 violations, averaging 4.5 per inspection and placing it below the statewide average of 5.2. However, the pattern of violations reveals systemic problems in critical areas: employee health policy violations were cited on the inspection immediately preceding the emergency closure; hand washing violations appeared repeatedly; chemical storage, cooking temperatures, and food quality issues all surfaced across the inspection record. The most recent inspection on March 27, 2026 documented one high-priority violation alongside intermediate findings, reflecting the ongoing post-closure compliance deficit. A single disciplinary action totaling $640 in fines was issued. Fire safety violations documented in October 2021 noted a portable fire extinguisher gauge in the red zone.
Most recent closure: March 24, 2026 for rodent, roach & fly activity.
