Schedule a licensed grease trap service immediately and confirm the provider will issue a proper service manifest with the date, volume removed, and technician signature. Contact your LA County Sanitation inspector with documentation of the scheduled service to show active compliance efforts. Keep all manifests on file at the restaurant and request a copy within 24 hours of the service visit.
What's causing it
FOG violations most often result from grease traps that have never been pumped, have not been serviced at the required interval, or lack any service records on file. High-volume fryer use, improperly scraped cookware, and staff pouring grease down drains accelerate grease accumulation beyond what a single trap can handle between service visits. Some operators inherit violations from a previous tenant whose trap was already overdue. Missing or incomplete service manifests from the pumping company leave operators unable to prove compliance even when cleaning did occur.
What happens if you wait
An unresolved FOG violation can result in escalating fines, a compliance schedule imposed by LA County Sanitation, and in serious cases, a sewer service shutoff to the property. Repeat violations increase scrutiny and can trigger more frequent mandatory inspections at the operator's expense. Clearing the citation requires documented proof of cleaning, meaning unverified past service does not count regardless of when it happened.
LA County Sanitation requires grease traps to be serviced at a minimum frequency based on trap size and usage, with written service records retained as proof of compliance for any open violation.
