Post-incident inspection on an expedited timeline — for West Wildwood property owners and managers needing the AHJ to clear re-occupancy.
After a fire, a structural impact, a heavy load event, or any incident that may have compromised the fire escape on a West Wildwood, New Jersey property, the structure must be re-inspected before it returns to service as a means of egress. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections responds to Cape May County post-incident requests on an expedited basis.
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 West Wildwood, 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.
