If you operate a commercial kitchen in New York City, staying compliant with local fire codes isn’t just good practice—it’s the law. One of the most critical systems under scrutiny during a fire inspection is your commercial kitchen range hood. Whether it’s the FDNY or a local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction), inspectors rely on the NFPA 96 standard to evaluate the safety and cleanliness of your exhaust system. Understanding what they look for can make the difference between passing and costly violations—or worse, forced shutdowns.
