Schedule a hood cleaning service with a certified provider who will affix a compliant dated tag upon completion. While waiting for the appointment, locate any prior service records to confirm when the last cleaning occurred and keep them on-site for any inspector visit.
What's causing it
Hood cleaning tags expire when the service interval lapses and no follow-up cleaning has been scheduled. High-volume kitchens cooking heavy grease loads require more frequent service than the previous vendor may have accounted for. Tags go missing when they are placed on removable panels that get displaced during cleaning or equipment maintenance. Some operators switch hood cleaning vendors without confirming the new provider issues a compliant, dated tag upon job completion.
What happens if you wait
A missing or expired tag is a documented violation that health and fire inspectors can cite on the spot, triggering a required follow-up inspection. Repeated violations can result in fines or a conditional permit status. If a fire occurs and the hood cleaning record is not current, insurance claims can be denied and liability exposure increases significantly.
LA County fire and health inspectors require a visible, current service tag on every hood system, and NFPA 96 mandates cleaning frequency based on cooking volume and fuel type.
