Independent third-party inspection. NJ Uniform Fire Code compliant. Reports formatted for the Bloomfield, New Jersey fire official and your insurance carrier.
If a property in Bloomfield has a fire escape serving as a required means of egress, NJ Uniform Fire Code requires periodic inspection. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the inspection, documents conditions with photographs, and provides the certification accepted by Essex County, New Jersey AHJs and insurance carriers.
Essex County, anchored by Newark, is heavy on multi-family housing — two-families, three-families, four-families. East Orange and Irvington sellers often own occupied multi-units.
Newark and East Orange tax rates are 2.5-3.5% of assessed value; tax-delinquency is common and Tony's title company handles back-tax payoff routinely.

Oyster Fire Escape Inspections is independent — meaning the inspection report is the deliverable, not a sales pitch for repair work. Property owners in Bloomfield take the report to any qualified Essex County structural or welding contractor for competitive repair quotes. The inspection becomes the agreed scope of work, priced across multiple bids rather than dictated by the inspector who would also profit from the work.
