Top 3 things health department looks for and how to avoid getting shut down

3 Mechanical Violations That Can Cost Your 'A'. A commercial walk-in refrigerator and ice machine

The NYC health inspector isn’t just checking your prep line. They’re pulling panels on your ice machines and checking the ambient temp of your walk-ins.

Want to keep that ‘A’ in the window? Watch out for these top 3 mechanical violations that shut down kitchens:

1. Missing or broken thermometers. If they can’t instantly verify your walk-in is holding below 41°F, you get cited.

2. Condensation and water leaks. A sweating walk-in ceiling or dripping AC vent is a severe cross-contamination hazard.

3. Mold in the ice machine. Ice is food in New York. Slime on the evaporator plates is an automatic critical violation.

Don’t wait for a surprise visit to find out your equipment is failing. We’ve been keeping NYC kitchens compliant and running cold since 1992.

Protect your business. Call B&M Mechanical at 718-802-1700 or stop by the shop at 126 13th Street # 4L-8, Brooklyn, NY 11215.

If It Heats Or Cools, We Handle It.
