Independence. An inspector who also sells repair work has a financial reason to expand the deficiency list. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections provides only the inspection and certification — the report Vernon, New Jersey property owners receive reflects what is actually present, not what would be profitable to "find."
Each deficiency is documented with photographs, location notes, and a severity classification in the report. The property owner takes the report to a Sussex County structural or welding contractor for repair quotes. Once repairs are complete, Oyster Fire Escape Inspections returns for a re-inspection and issues the updated certification accepted by the Vernon, New Jersey fire official.
The Authority Having Jurisdiction in Sussex County accepts third-party inspection reports prepared in accordance with the NJ Uniform Fire Code and IFC §1104. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections reports include the documentation elements Vernon fire officials require.
