What can Air Quality do about smoke and odors from restaurants?
An Inspector can often resolve these complaints by making the source aware of the problem and letting them know a complaint has been registered. A restaurant can change its operating practices, improve maintenance of its cooking equipment, or install odor control equipment. Restaurants are not exempt from causing nuisance odors. If a sufficient number of complaints, representing different households, are reported to the and an Inspector witnesses the problem, they can issue a Warning Letter.
