Sovereign of Miami LLC in Miami
Last inspected:
22 Ne 3 Ave, Miami, FL 33132Sovereign of Miami has operated as a permanent food service establishment with 40 seats in Miami-Dade County since at least 2016. The facility was emergency-closed on January 3, 2019 for roach activity; a fire safety violation documenting a blocked exit in the kitchen was noted at that time. Two disciplinary actions totaling $560 in fines have been issued.
The facility's compliance record shows persistent systemic issues. Across 24 inspections, it accumulated 142 violations—averaging 5.9 per inspection, slightly above the Florida statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations were cited in 18 of the most recent 8 inspections alone. Improper hand and arm washing was documented in every one of the last 8 inspections, spanning nearly three years from November 2022 through November 2025. Shell stock requirements violations appeared repeatedly in 2023, 2025, and at the most recent inspection. Time-as-a-control violations (use of time instead of temperature to keep potentially hazardous foods safe) were cited in four of the last six inspections. Food contact surface violations and employee health policy violations also appeared multiple times across the record.
The most recent inspection on November 13, 2025 found 15 violations including three high-priority findings: improper hand and arm washing cited twice and shell stock requirements violations. The inspection was completed with no further action required, though the ongoing pattern of hand-washing and shell stock violations across consecutive inspections indicates the facility has not achieved sustained compliance in these critical areas.
Most recent closure: January 3, 2019 for roach activity.
