Above are pictures from several jobs that had just been cleaned by licensed companies in the city of Mpls in 2009 before they started their inspection program. The pictures were all taken right after the cleanings were done and they speak for themselves. These KEC companies left Mpls with no choice but to start an inspection program as they obviously could not be trusted. Almost all of these pictures are from restaurants in buildings with other tenants that could have had tremendous losses if the grease ion these pictures had caught fire. There was also a huge potential for loss of life as some were multi-story buildings. Some of these pictures are from the same companies that are yelling the loudest. Now everyone can see the real reason these companies are complaining about all the extra time they will needed to follow the new permit program. It is not because of the pictures or paperwork, it is simply the extra time needed to clean up all of this old buildup they have been neglecting for years now that someone is looking and holding them all accountable. There was no need to the permit charges if all of these companies has simply done their jobs correctly to the required NFPA96 standards as required.

Respectable hood cleaners have been begging for the fire marshals everywhere to do their jobs for years and years. But, for some reason, I don't think getting the local government involved will help anything. Adding $130 to their bill will simple push back the cleanings from quarterly to six months. As far as the pictures go, I think it's a great idea, but we all know that they can be manipulated by anybody with a little technical skills on a computer.
I hope it works, I just don't like the gov't sticking their hands in local business' pockets. I know that they are wonderfully efficient in everything else they do, hahah.
