Illinois Licensing & Compliance
What fire suppression & hood cleaning companies in Illinois need to know before and after deploying AI operations.
Licensing Body
Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM); Chicago Fire Department
License Required
No state license required; Chicago requires Fire Prevention Bureau compliance
Illinois enforces NFPA 96 through local fire authorities with no state-level hood cleaning license. Chicago's Fire Prevention Bureau maintains the strictest commercial kitchen exhaust enforcement in the Midwest — quarterly inspections for high-volume restaurants are standard. The Bureau issues violations starting at $500 for expired compliance documentation. Downstate Illinois relies on local fire marshals with less frequent enforcement cycles.
