Post-incident inspection on an expedited timeline — for Montgomery property owners and managers needing the AHJ to clear re-occupancy.
When an incident affects the fire escape on a Montgomery property — vehicle impact, fire damage, a heavy load event, sudden visible deformation — the structure cannot be relied upon as egress until it is inspected and the load-bearing capacity verified. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections responds to Somerset County, New Jersey emergency requests promptly.
Somerset County is corporate-suburban; fire escapes cluster in the older downtowns of Somerville, Bound Brook, and Raritan.
Somerville's active Main Street means mixed-use buildings with commercial tenants below and apartments above — the classic NJ fire escape configuration.
A fire escape inspection and certification in Montgomery, 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.
