FDNY Permits & Inspections — New York City
FDNY permits and inspections apply to NYC restaurants, including place of assembly for larger occupancies and permits for cooking and suppression systems.
Overview
The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) issues permits and conducts inspections relevant to restaurants — including Place of Assembly for larger occupant loads and permits tied to commercial cooking and fire-suppression systems.
FDNY sign-off is part of obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy and operating legally.
What SpoonSeal tracks
The document(s) you upload for this requirement, with automatic renewal/expiration tracking (Current, Due Soon, Expired). Where the city publishes health-inspection results (e.g., NYC and Chicago), SpoonSeal syncs them automatically; elsewhere they can be added manually.
Stay ahead of this requirement
SpoonSeal stores your documents, tracks expirations, and reminds you before anything lapses — so you are always inspection-ready.
