Prince George’s County Compliance
Upper Marlboro is the county seat of Prince George’s County, Maryland. The county’s commercial kitchen fire safety requirements are enforced by Prince George’s County Fire and Emergency Medical Services (PG County Fire and EMS) under COMAR 29.06.01, Maryland’s fire prevention code which incorporates NFPA 96 as the operative standard for commercial cooking exhaust systems. PG County Fire and EMS operates an active commercial kitchen inspection program throughout the county, including the busy restaurant corridors along Central Avenue (Route 214), Route 4 (Pennsylvania Avenue), Largo Town Center, and the Bowie and Greenbelt commercial areas.
Our NFPA 96 certificates include all required information for Prince George’s County compliance: cleaning company name, kitchen address, date of service, scope of cleaning (hood, duct, and fan), and technician signature. We deliver certificates and before-and-after photo documentation digitally the same night as every service visit, so your documentation is immediately available for any PG County inspection. Express Kitchen Hoods maintains current familiarity with PG County Fire and EMS’ certificate format preferences and inspection standards.

Frequently Asked Questions — PG County
Does PG County Fire and EMS actively enforce NFPA 96 cleaning requirements?
Yes — Prince George’s County Fire and EMS maintains an active commercial kitchen inspection program across the county. Inspectors check for current NFPA 96 cleaning certificates during commercial kitchen inspections and issue citations when certificates are expired or absent. The county’s large and diverse restaurant market means inspection activity is ongoing throughout the year. Restaurants cited for overdue cleaning are given a correction deadline (typically 30 days) and scheduled for reinspection. Call (240) 771-3473 if you have received a PG County Fire and EMS citation and need to schedule cleaning urgently.
Do you clean ethnic restaurants in areas like Langley Park or Riverdale?
Yes — we service the full range of commercial kitchens throughout PG County, including the distinctive Central American, Caribbean, Korean, Ethiopian, and other ethnic restaurant kitchens concentrated in Langley Park, Riverdale, Bladensburg, and similar communities. High-heat ethnic cooking equipment — woks, flat-top comals, high-BTU burners, specialty deep fryers — produces significant grease volumes that often warrant quarterly NFPA 96 cleaning frequencies. We assess each kitchen’s actual equipment and cooking volume to set the correct cleaning interval and communicate in a straightforward way about what the certificate requires.
