NYC RESTAURANT REQUIREMENTS

Protect your guests.
Keep your business ready.

Pest prevention and kitchen exhaust maintenance are operating responsibilities—not just cosmetic upkeep. Here is what restaurant owners should know.

01 / NYC HEALTH CODE

Pest prevention is required.

Keep your premises free of pests and the conditions that attract them. Inspect the premises and incoming supplies daily. NYC Health Code §81.23 requires a contract with a NYSDEC-licensed pest professional for at least monthly preventive inspections and services, plus elimination services when pests are found. Keep required records on site.

02 / NYC FIRE CODE

Grease needs a cleaning schedule.

Commercial cooking exhaust systems must be cleaned by an approved company. Fire Code §609.5.3.3 requires hood cleaning every three months; duct and fan schedules depend on the system and cooking volume. Grease accumulation can require additional cleaning.

Check the exhaust-cleaning schedule ↗

Can a restaurant be shut down?

Yes. NYC Health may order a restaurant to close when a public health hazard cannot be corrected immediately, or when it operates without a valid permit. Address pest activity, sanitation problems and maintenance issues promptly. Hiring a service does not guarantee an inspection grade or prevent enforcement.

NYC Health inspection and closure guidance ↗

Health Department inspections and Fire Code exhaust requirements are separate. Environmental testing is recommended according to the concern; not every service is mandatory for every restaurant. Requirements reviewed October 21, 2026.

RESTAURANT READINESS

Clean beyond the surface.
Prepare before the visit.

Focus on the conditions you can address now: pest activity, grease buildup, sanitation concerns and unfinished maintenance.

01 / REVIEW

Know the concerns.

Bring your latest inspection report, service history and current observations to the conversation.

02 / ADDRESS

Turn findings into action.

Agree on the work, access and follow-up needed for the pest or environmental concerns in scope.

03 / MAINTAIN

Keep the routine working.

Stay consistent with service, cleaning, records and repairs between inspections.

Service that fits your operation

Tell us about your kitchen, storage areas and current concerns. We discuss preparation, access and service timing before work begins, so you know what to expect.

Focus on the conditions that matter

  • Pest activity: inspect affected areas and discuss treatment, monitoring and contributing conditions.
  • Kitchen exhaust: confirm the accessible hood, duct and fan components included in cleaning.
  • Mold and moisture: investigate visible concerns, musty odors or a history of leaks.

Keep a clear record

Keep service reports, findings and follow-up recommendations together. A completed visit and an unresolved repair are different things; your records should make the next action clear.
