Yes — for any building where the fire escape serves as a required means of egress. The NJ Uniform Fire Code adopts IFC requirements, and the Sussex County fire official enforces them at the Andover Township level. Failure to maintain a current inspection can trigger a notice of violation, fines, and ultimately a vacate order.
A load test applies a controlled load — typically 1,000 pounds per landing, or five times the design live load, whichever is greater — and verifies the structure carries it without permanent deformation.
