Under the NJ Uniform Fire Code, fire escapes serving as a required means of egress must be inspected on a recurring cycle — most Hunterdon County jurisdictions enforce a 5-year cycle for periodic load testing, with annual visual inspections in some municipalities.

Oyster Fire Escape Inspections does the opposite: the inspection itself is a flat published price ($1,375 first fire escape, $350 each additional), and every deficiency that is called out comes with photographs and a written fixed-price scope you can independently verify or bid out.
