The inspection process for a East Brunswick fire escape begins with a visual examination of every structural component: stringers, treads, landings, handrails, balusters, attachment brackets, drop-down ladder mechanism, and the masonry or structural connections. Where the AHJ requires it — and Middlesex County, New Jersey jurisdictions vary on this — a load test is performed at 1,000 pounds per landing or five times the design live load, whichever is greater, in accordance with IFC §1104.16.5. The full scope is documented in the written report.
