"In April the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health cited Dan Tana's in West Hollywood, an events kitchen at the San Vicente Bungalows, Jitlada in Thai Town and the rooftop restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, temporarily shuttering them and dozens of others until they rectified the infractions."
"A review of L.A. County records by The Times tallied more than 120 vermin citations issued to food facilities in the region in 2026, with 67 - the majority - of these occurring in April alone."
"April's closures also included multiple school cafeterias as well as supermarkets and corner stores, including Gardena Supermarket, which closed two separate times for the same citation."
"Restaurants must close for at least 48 hours and implement pest control measures and staff training before health department reinspection allows them to reopen."
