Post-incident inspection on an expedited timeline — for Edison 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 Edison, 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 Middlesex County post-incident requests on an expedited basis.
Middlesex County's fire escapes concentrate in New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, and the older downtown cores of Edison and Woodbridge.
New Brunswick's rental-heavy market (Rutgers) means certificate-of-occupancy cycles drive a steady cadence of inspection requests.
A fire escape inspection and certification in Edison, 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. Verified emergency responders and teachers receive a 5% discount. The price does not include repairs; when repairs are needed they are quoted separately in writing before any work.

Structural impact from a vehicle, falling object, or other event can deform or fracture members in ways not visible at street level. The Edison inspection documents deformation, weld cracks, and any displacement of attachment points. A load test is performed where the inspector concludes one is needed to verify residual capacity for the Middlesex County, New Jersey AHJ submission.
Edison's commercial strips and older mixed-use buildings carry the township's fire escape stock. Insurance-renewal requests are the most common inspection trigger for Edison property owners.
