Independent third-party inspection. NJ Uniform Fire Code compliant. Reports formatted for the Cliffside Park, New Jersey fire official and your insurance carrier.
Fire escapes on older properties in Cliffside Park typically have not been load tested in years — sometimes decades. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the periodic inspection and load test required under NJ code, and delivers a written report ready for submission to the Bergen County, New Jersey fire official.
Bergen County is the densest housing market in NJ — 70 municipalities ranging from Mahwah ranches to Fort Lee high-rises. Mid-century capes and colonials dominate the inventory.
Bergen County property taxes are among the highest in the country, often 2.0-3.0% of assessed value. Even small homes carry $10K-$20K annual bills.
