What We Fix
Targeted Repairs to Clear Your Violations Fast
An inspection failure means your system is unsafe to operate. We do not just consult; we perform the physical, hands-on repairs required to satisfy the inspector and secure your operational permits.
1. Access Door Installation
Cutting and installing code-compliant, liquid-tight access doors so your ductwork can be properly inspected and cleaned.
2. Duct Leak Sealing
Locating and permanently sealing grease and smoke leaks in the ductwork using AWS certified welding and high-temp sealants.
3. Fixing Clearances
Correcting improper clearances between hot grease ducts and combustible building materials to prevent structural fires.
4. Fire Wrap Corrections
Replacing damaged, missing, or non-compliant insulation with exact UL-listed, 2-hour fire-rated wrap.
5. Fan & Hinge Repairs
Installing heavy-duty exhaust fan hinges and grease containment boxes to comply with rooftop environmental and safety codes.
6. System Modifications
Modifying hoods or extending ductwork to resolve complex airflow and capture violations.
When to Call Us
Common Reasons Customers Need Violation Repairs
Time is money when you are facing a violation. Customers typically contact us when an inspector threatens to shut down their kitchen, or when an insurance audit demands immediate physical upgrades to the ventilation system.
Failed FDNY Inspection
The fire department issued a summons for unsafe conditions, such as missing fire wrap or unsealed duct joints.
Department of Buildings (DOB) Notice
You received a correction notice stating your hood or ductwork was installed without meeting current mechanical codes.
Insurance Audit Failure
Your insurance provider threatens to cancel coverage unless you install proper access doors and exhaust fan hinges.
Cleaning Company Cannot Proceed
Your exhaust cleaners cannot issue a certificate because they cannot reach sections of ductwork due to missing access panels.
Code-Conscious Physical Repairs
Repairs Focused on Immediate Safety and NFPA 96 Compliance
Clearing a violation requires exact, physical fixes. A patch job won’t pass re-inspection. You need a contractor who understands the exact specifications of the NYC Mechanical Code and NFPA 96.
Eagle Kitchen Ventilation Corp. provides the hands-on mechanical repairs needed to get your system compliant. If the violation requires engineered drawings or permits to clear, we will coordinate directly with licensed professionals to resolve the issue legally and safely.
