Independent third-party inspection. NJ Uniform Fire Code compliant. Reports formatted for the South Toms River, New Jersey fire official and your insurance carrier.
Fire escapes on older properties in South Toms River typically have not been load tested in years — sometimes decades. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the periodic inspection and load test required under NJ code, and delivers a written report ready for submission to the Ocean County, New Jersey fire official.
Ocean County is shore-heavy: Toms River, Brick, Lakewood, Long Beach Island. Sandy-era rebuilds, 55+ communities (Holiday City, Silver Ridge), and Lakewood multi-family expansion are all common.
Ocean County tax rates are 2.0-2.5%; shore-property assessments often lag actual market values.
