What New York restaurant operators should look for
- IKECA-certified (or equivalent) technicians and NFPA 96 practices.
- A quote that covers the full system — hood, filters, vertical duct, and rooftop fan.
- Photo documentation and a dated certificate issued after every cleaning.
- Willingness to work overnight without a punitive premium.
- Insurance on file, including coverage for water damage during pressure washing.
Local noteFDNY requires cleaning certificates on-site during inspections, and failing to produce one is a common cause of violations. High-rise rooftop access in Midtown and the Financial District often requires building coordination, which can add days to scheduling. Most NYC hood cleaners are FDNY Certificate of Fitness holders — ask before booking.
