NYC Fire Code & Hood Installation Requirements
New York City enforces hood and ventilation requirements under the NYC Fire Code (incorporating Local Law 26 and NFPA 96) and the NYC Mechanical Code (based on the International Mechanical Code). The NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) requires permits for hood installation projects exceeding a threshold scope—typically any new hood system, duct penetration through floors or rated assemblies, or fire suppression system integration.
Custom fabrication must meet UL 710 (Type I listed hood systems) or be submitted as a special device approval. Our NYC installation projects comply with DOB permit requirements and FDNY inspection standards across all five boroughs, Westchester, and Rockland County municipalities.

Frequently Asked Questions — New York
Do I need a NYC DOB permit for hood installation?
Any hood system installation involving new ductwork, penetration through a rated assembly, or fire suppression integration typically requires a NYC DOB permit filed by a licensed professional engineer or registered architect. We coordinate permit documentation and work with your PE/RA to expedite approval.
Can you fabricate to fit non-standard kitchen dimensions?
Yes. Custom fabrication is our specialty for NYC and Metro New York. We field-measure your kitchen, produce shop drawings, fabricate to order, and install — including oddly shaped spaces, low-ceiling basements, or multi-tenant kitchen configurations.
How long does a typical NYC hood installation take?
A straightforward replacement install typically takes 1–2 days. New construction installs with custom ductwork runs of 20+ feet, MUA system integration, or suppression connections can take 3–5 business days. All timeframes include post-installation FDNY inspection readiness review.
Do you also provide ongoing hood cleaning after installation?
Yes. A post-installation cleaning contract ensures your new hood stays NFPA 96 compliant from day one. We offer multi-year maintenance agreements for NYC, Westchester, and Rockland County locations that bundle scheduled cleaning, fan service, and suppression inspection visits.
