The rules in NYC

What the FDNY requires

The five boroughs follow the New York City Fire Code, which is separate from the rest of the state and enforced by the FDNY.

Enforced by the FDNY Bureau of Fire Prevention under the New York City Fire Code.

Every 3 monthsThe minimum in New York City, cleaned to bare metal. This is stricter than the national standard.
Every 6 monthsVertical ducts more than three stories tall, at a minimum.
Solid fuelInspected monthly and cleaned at least every 3 months.
FiltersChecked daily and cleaned at least monthly.
Who may cleanOnly FDNY-approved companies, with a numbered decal on the hood and records kept for the inspector.

New York City requires kitchen exhaust cleaning more often than most places. Keep the decal current and the records on hand, because inspectors ask for both.
