Post-incident inspection on an expedited timeline — for Glen Ridge 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 Glen Ridge, 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 Essex County post-incident requests on an expedited basis.
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.
