Dania’s oceanfront restaurant shut down for ‘very unsafe’ conditions

A city-owned restaurant on the oceanfront has been shut down for dangerous conditions.

Dania Beach Grill, 65 N. Beach Road, was abruptly shut down Wednesday after inspectors uncovered a list of violations that was more than three pages long: damaged and corroded awnings, broken beams, rotten wood, broken walls, damaged rails, kitchen equipment not connected to dedicated circuits, and exposed, corroded, loose or damaged wires.

County property records show the building was built in the 1990s, but city officials said its origins might be from the 1940s.

The city owns the weathered building but leases it to the restaurant, and city officials said the tenant is responsible for maintenance while the city is responsible for the “structure — the four walls and the roof.”
