California Licensing & Compliance

What fire suppression & hood cleaning companies in California need to know before and after deploying AI operations.

Licensing Body

California Contractors State License Board (CSLB)

License Required

C-2 Insulation and Acoustical Contractor or D-64 Non-Electrical Sign Contractor (varies by scope)

California Health and Safety Code Section 13143 mandates commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning at intervals determined by cooking volume. The State Fire Marshal enforces NFPA 96 standards. CalOSHA requires fall protection training for rooftop fan access. Local fire departments in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego enforce inspection frequencies stricter than state minimums. Contractors must provide Certificates of Compliance after every cleaning.

Climate & Demand Factors

California's year-round warm weather supports outdoor dining and extended restaurant operating hours, increasing grease production and cleaning frequency. Wildfire risk in fire-prone areas creates additional urgency for kitchen exhaust compliance. The state's massive restaurant industry — largest in the US by count — drives sustained demand across all metro areas.

What Fire Suppression & Hood Cleaning Companies in California Deal With

California-specific challenges we address during deployment.

  • California's 160,000+ restaurants create overwhelming demand — the average hood cleaning company services 200+ locations and can't keep up with scheduling and compliance tracking manually
  • CalOSHA fall protection requirements for rooftop fan access add pre-job safety documentation that techs skip when they're exhausted at 2am
  • Local fire departments in LA, SF, and San Diego enforce stricter frequencies than state code — misidentifying the jurisdiction means missed deadlines and $1,000+ fines
