Queens NY Restaurant Hood Duct & Fire System Compliance

If you're worried about Queens NY Restaurant Hood Duct & Fire System Compliance just call Master Fire. Running a restaurant in Queens, NY means strict fire safety regulations are part of daily operations. The FDNY pays close attention to restaurant hood systems, ductwork, and fire suppression equipment. To avoid violations — and costly shutdowns — it’s critical to work closely with a trusted fire protection services company like Master Fire. As you can see in these pictures, keeping your system clean is vital to fire safety. Grease buildup, dust, and particulate matter pose serious risks, especially when it comes to fusible links in your suppression system, control boxes, tanks, piping, valves, access panels, and ductwork. All it takes is a single spark or a sudden surge of heat for trapped grease to ignite — causing catastrophic damage to your kitchen, your business, and your staff.

Here’s how Queens restaurant owners can stay compliant and keep their kitchens safe: 1. Inspect and Maintain Your Hood System The exhaust hood is your kitchen’s first line of defense against fire hazards. Master Fire can inspect for grease buildup, blocked airflow, damaged filters, and missing access panels. Regular cleaning and maintenance help ensure your hood system meets FDNY standards and prevents grease fires. 2. Clean and Service Your Ductwork Your ductwork is an invisible danger zone. Over time, grease-laden vapors solidify inside the ducts, creating a serious fire risk. Regular duct inspections and professional cleanings by Master Fire are essential to keep your kitchen safe and compliant. 3. Test and Certify Your Fire Suppression System A properly functioning fire suppression system is required by law in Queens commercial kitchens. Master Fire’s licensed technicians inspect nozzles, piping, tanks, and control heads, ensuring everything activates correctly. They’ll also provide FDNY-required certifications after each inspection or service. 4. Immediate Violation Response If you’re issued a violation for hood, duct, or suppression deficiencies, Master Fire helps you act fast. They’ll diagnose the issue, make necessary repairs, and file corrective paperwork — often within days — helping you avoid fines or shutdowns. 5. Educate Staff on Equipment Safety Your employees should know basic signs of system problems — like smoke not venting properly, suppression nozzles being blocked, or hoods feeling excessively hot. Master Fire can provide on-site training to help your staff stay alert to potential fire hazards.
