Schedule the inspection, deliver the report, complete repairs, re-inspect, close the violation — for Upper Township property owners on a deadline.
The path to closing a fire escape violation is straightforward: current third-party inspection, repair of any documented deficiencies, re-inspection certification submitted to the AHJ. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections handles the inspection portion and the re-inspection — the property owner contracts repairs separately with any qualified Cape May County, New Jersey structural contractor. Independence is what makes the report credible to the Upper Township fire official.
Cape May County is shore real estate — and its Victorian-era hotels and guest houses carry some of the oldest fire escapes in NJ, in the most corrosive environment.
Seasonal occupancy means inspection windows matter — most Cape May owners schedule in the off-season so repairs don't collide with rental season.
A fire escape inspection and certification in Upper Township, NJ costs $1,375 for the first fire escape and $350 for each additional fire escape on the same property, including the written report and the engineer-signed certification. Verified emergency responders and teachers receive a 5% discount. The price does not include repairs; when repairs are needed they are quoted separately in writing before any work.

After the inspection, the report identifies all deficiencies with photographs and severity classifications, each priced as a fixed, itemized repair scope. The Upper Township property owner can have the same Oyster Fire Escape Inspections crew perform the repairs — one vendor from the violation notice to the certification accepted by the New Jersey AHJ — or take the report to any qualified structural or welding contractor in Cape May County for competitive bids; the report is written to stand on its own either way.

The deadline is specified on the notice — typically 30, 60, or 90 days, though it can be shorter for serious safety conditions. Read the notice carefully and act promptly; missed deadlines trigger escalating fines.
In some cases, yes — particularly when the property owner has demonstrated good-faith progress (inspection completed, repair scope signed, work scheduled). Communicate proactively. Because Oyster Fire Escape Inspections handles both the inspection and the repairs, the signed scope and work schedule are ready to support an extension request the same week.
The third-party inspection report is the factual record. If the cited conditions are not actually present, the report documents that. If they are present, the report classifies severity. Either way the report is what the AHJ ultimately reviews.
Yes — that is the fastest path through a violation. The crew that documents the cited deficiencies prices them as a fixed itemized scope, performs the welding and structural work, and issues the updated certification that closes the violation. One vendor, one timeline, no handoffs eating the deadline.
Fines escalate. The AHJ may issue additional enforcement actions including increased fines, additional re-inspection fees, and in serious cases a vacate order. Schedule the inspection promptly even if repairs cannot be completed before the deadline, and communicate progress to the AHJ.
