Under the NJ Uniform Fire Code, fire escapes serving as a required means of egress must be inspected on a recurring cycle — most Salem County jurisdictions enforce a 5-year cycle for periodic load testing, with annual visual inspections in some municipalities. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections confirms the specific requirement with the Pittsgrove, New Jersey fire official before scheduling.
Both. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs visual inspection and, where required by IFC §1104.16.5 or the Salem County fire official, a 1,000-pound-per-landing load test. The load test is typically required on the 5-year cycle in New Jersey; visual inspections may be more frequent.
Certification for a Pittsgrove building costs $1,375 for the first fire escape and $350 for each additional fire escape on the same property — a flat rate covering the inspection, report, and engineer-signed certification accepted across Salem County, New Jersey. Verified emergency responders and teachers get 5% off. Repairs are not part of the certification price: where the AHJ requires a physical load test, or repairs are needed, that scope is quoted in writing before anything is scheduled.
