Restaurant Owners: Dirty Awnings Could Cost You Your Health Inspection Grade
Your restaurant's awning is the first thing customers—and health inspectors—see. If it's stained with mold, grease, or grime, you're not just risking curb appeal. You could be jeopardizing your health inspection score and your business's reputation.
At Go Awning, we help NYC restaurants maintain spotless, inspection-ready awnings that impress customers and keep health inspectors happy.
Why Dirty Awnings Trigger Health Inspection Warnings
Health departments evaluate everything—including your exterior. Here's why a neglected awning can hurt your score:
1. Mold & Mildew = Violation Risk
Mold spores spread near entryways, contaminating outdoor dining areas or even drifting inside.
Inspectors view this as a sanitation issue, especially near food prep zones.
2. Pest Magnet
Grease buildup and organic debris attract flies, birds, and rodents.
If pests are traced to your awning, it could mean point deductions or reinspections.
3. Sends the Wrong Message
A filthy awning suggests poor maintenance, prompting inspectors to scrutinize your kitchen more closely.
Customers also associate exterior neglect with poor hygiene—bad for business.
How to Protect Your Inspection Score
✔ Professional Deep Cleaning – DIY scrubbing won't remove embedded mold or grease.
✔ Fix Damage Promptly – Torn fabric traps moisture, accelerating mold growth.
✔ Schedule Seasonal Maintenance – Prevent buildup before inspections or peak seasons.
