Restaurant Fire Systems Violations Removed
If you have received a Fire Department of New York (FDNY) violation notice, it means that the FDNY has found a violation of fire safety regulations on your property. This is particularly so when it comes to restaurant kitchens. There are so many factors and variables pertaining to the proper installation, maintenance and repair of commercial cooking equipment.
Depending on the nature of the violation, you will be required to take certain steps in order to correct whatever issues the FDNY inspectors found, to cure them. That’s where the experience of Master Fire Systems comes in.
We’ll come to your restaurant and review the violation notice, and take the time to communicate the nature of the violation in order that you understand it. The violation will outline the specific fire safety regulation that has been breached and the measures needed to take to correct the issue.
Two of the most common violations are inadequate kitchen hood cleaning. Due to grease buildup in kitchen hoods the risk of a fire is exponentially increased. If the hoods and ductwork aren’t cleaned regularly, it’s easy to get violated.
Another common violation involves your suppression systems: Fire suppression systems. These are delicate systems and need to be tested regularly to insure that the nozzles, thermostats, and control box are in proper working order so they’re ready to extinguish a fire quickly and prevent it from spreading.
It’s important to note that fire safety regulations can vary depending on the state, city, and type of establishment. Restaurant owners should always consult with local authorities and fire safety professionals to ensure that they are in compliance with all regulations.
After we have addressed and cured your deficiency, we’ll request a re-inspection so that the FDNY can verify that the violation has been corrected. Generally if you cure your violation within 30 days, you will not need to pay a fine.
It’s important to take FDNY violation notices seriously, as they are issued to protect public safety. By taking the necessary steps to correct the violation, you can ensure that your property is in compliance with fire safety regulations and avoid any future fines or penalties.

Repairing a restaurant kitchen hood system can be a complex and challenging task due to several factors, including:
Access: Kitchen hood systems are often located in hard-to-reach areas, such as high ceilings or cramped spaces. This can make it difficult for repair technicians to access the system and perform repairs.
Size: Commercial kitchen hood systems can be large and complex, with many different components that need to be repaired or replaced. This can make it challenging for technicians to diagnose and fix problems quickly.
Safety: Kitchen hood systems are designed to remove smoke, heat, and other harmful contaminants from the kitchen. However, these systems can also be dangerous if they are not properly maintained or repaired. Repair technicians need to be trained in safety procedures to prevent accidents and injuries.
Time: Kitchen hood systems are essential for restaurant operations, and downtime can be costly. Repair technicians need to work quickly and efficiently to minimize disruptions to the restaurant’s operations.
Complexity: Kitchen hood systems are comprised of many different components, including fans, filters, ductwork, and fire suppression systems. Repair technicians need to be knowledgeable about each of these components to properly diagnose and repair problems.
Regulations: Kitchen hood systems are subject to various codes and regulations, including those related to fire safety and air quality. Repair technicians need to be familiar with these regulations to ensure that repairs are compliant and meet safety standards.
There are a few other factors as well that require an experienced master fire contractor with ample insurance and certified fire protection services technicians on staff.
Permits and Regulations: Renovating a restaurant typically involves obtaining permits and adhering to regulations related to building codes, zoning laws, and health and safety regulations. Failing to comply with these requirements can result in delays and additional costs.
Design and Layout: The design and layout of a restaurant can greatly impact the success of the renovation. Renovating the dining area, kitchen, and restroom can be complex, and may require the help of architects, engineers, and contractors. Proper planning and coordination are necessary to ensure that the design is functional, aesthetically pleasing, and meets safety regulations.
Equipment: Renovating a restaurant often involves updating or replacing equipment, such as ovens, refrigerators, and stoves. This can be a significant expense, and it’s important to choose equipment that is appropriate for the restaurant’s needs and budget.
